America

By Antmonkey

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Like the fat kid in the playground,Who eats candy till he's sick,Like the sex-addicted gigolo,Who gets cancer in his dick,Like the old man with his money,Who gets left all on his own,And the all-powerful estate agent,Who gets kicked out of his home.When the fat kid in the playground,Keeps his eyes upon the candy,He leaves himself wide open,To the kids who don't have any.And when the kids on welfare, Get upset and take a stand,Then the greedy little fat kid,Will have no candy in his hands.Now the old man builds defences,Against all the grasping hands,Of the poor, dying and needy,And the desparate in the land.He builds defences big and strong,He builds them; it's unfair,He foolishly defends his cash,But attacks from in the air?Now the fat kid and the old man,Are comatosed and shocked,And thier fundamental systems,Forever have been rocked.I hope the old man learns to see,The error of his ways,But sadly, I dont think he will,The fat kid is here to stay.O.K, I got my flak jacket on for the responses to this one, All I'm gonna say is that what is happening in America has been going on for 6 months in Israel, and the self proclaimed peace-keepers have done nothing to stop it.
