America, You Are Bipolar
America, you are bipolar
Mother of invention and murder
Father of civil rights and lynching
Your children listen to hip hop and death metal
b-boys and skinheads
America you are bipolar
the biggest gay rights champions and the most hateful psycho-bigots
America, what are you?
the greatest artists and heinous murderers
America, when can we find a treatment for you that will finally
stabilize you?
the world is waiting for your treatment regimen, America.
on that glorious day when we can finally call the world
holistic.
