Banana Republic
Seems it happened overnight
but in reality took decades
starting with a few black spots
then to a full blown rot...
We just didn't pay
close enough attention
became complacent
spoiled-self centered
lazy and decadent.
There's little doubt
America's decaying
from the inside-out
eagles turning into fruitflies
stars & stripes into scars & pox
and to those who mock
us for our folly and rot
you're probably next
on the chopping block-
