Rant

Where the hell has the USA gone?
Mired so deep in black Fascism,
We may never climb out of the pit
World War II turned out to be just

A battle that we won against Nazism,
Then hordes of Nazi war criminals,
Were brought over, all pardoned,
and helped out our rockets, 
MKULTRAS, and god only knows what else!

And our Fascist corporations who
Had to wait a few decades for terrorism
To finish shredding the constitution
and taking our rights while we watched
Football and held our cells tight,
Polishing off suds and gobbling wings

While our terror and torture 
held the world in its icy grip
Yes, power corrupts, but it takes
untold money from us to really power
Total evil and powerful corruption!

I think anyone who writes poetry long enough ends up with a poem or two with political statement. I like rants!
