'Happy' Meal
By edenbak
Big fat western man, has undeveloped nations in the grooves of his nike shoe, scraping them off like bubblegum. Why worry about them? He's got his own belly to feed. Big fat western man, has put the blood of the world into his gas station pumps flooding his unquenchable S.U.V. Why lose sleep over it? That's for his grandchildren to deal with. Big fat western man, feels real rustic watching Survivor, no food or water - reality T.V. Can't face the reality of Bangladesh, no food or water - reality of billions. Who cares ~click~ "You Are Watching Fox!" Big Fat Western Man, sports shirt made in Thailand shoes in far off Indonesia. S-W-E-A-T means nothing to him, but he perspires as he eats the world a vast fast-food burger - a "Happy" Meal. You don't have to turn The big fat western man inside out to read his label closely. Does it say made in the U.S.A.? I'd bet my apple pie.No, this is not an anti U.S. poem, its an anti WESTERN poem. I needed to give the west a figurhead, and U.S.A was the obvious choice. A majority of us here live in the western world, so its time to own up. Enjoy the poem written late last night with angst. Written March 21st, 2002 © on Mar 21 2002 01:38 AM PST 0 • 11 • 9
