AMERICA(APRIL,2008)
AMERICA....
you are still young/and not yet fully formed
AMERICA....
you are a 13 yr.old boy with pimples/you always have a hard on
and you should'nt play with guns/
tell that to your goofy,grinning, vacant-eyed C student KING
AMERICA...
you are a spark/a blue flame/a black ash/an angry torch/a smoking skull
AMERICA....
you are prom queen who got fat/when they no longer paid attention
AMERICA..
you are a drunken man/and the poetry of you is fading from the page/
tell that to your half-wit frat boy king(but he will not understand)
AMERICA...
your Mountain is crying/your sky is burning/your fields withering
AMERICA..
men with shit-filled souls wear your flag on their lapels/like Ozzy Osbourne
wears a cross/mocking the truth of both symbols/and even their smiles/
are crooked
AMERICA....
your rich and holy music will not be heard in the streets tonite/
thru the windows and under the carports/beatboxes throb and spit/
a joyless cacophony of rage/manufactured for mediocrity because/
AMERICA...
YOU KILLED ELVIS
