Average American
I wish life was about drinking iced tea
mixed with lemonade
instead of trying to make that pay grade
in this life full of trade
work until our hair turns grey
who has the right to say
when you retire and how to spend your funds
not to have fun like you should on any day
in disgust we look away
but as an American what do we portray
is that we get high like Scooby,
you can get shot at a school or a movie,
because we are seen equipping a digital uzi or a ak47
except in this real life there is no reset button
when you get to hell or heaven. -TA
