God Bless (Shallow) America
By LovelyUndead
We are free
To be chained to this society
A part of the machine
Oiled and well behaved
Preprogrammed beliefs
God will smite you
We are better
Than everyone
We need to improve
Eat more, be more
Thin is the new in
Big lips
Small hips
Fat ass
Willing to do anything
To be on the VIP
Minors in possession
Manslaughter
Corruption
Traffic
Pollution
The most beautiful
Most heavily medicated
Youngest looking
Society
On the face
Of the planet

One of my favorite topics in poetry.These should be mailed en masse to D.C. just to give them a brainache and a haunting memory.

Yikes. felt like every word was a stab..so true, materialism and always attempting to be perfect superficially, trying to make a perfect mirage while everything else is ruined by it...

Just the thought makes me cringe, an entire civilization obsessed with false perfection, perhaps even kill for it. Materialism, narcissism, make way for the future. Write onward.

Oh hell yes! America the Shallow. America the Fake. America isn't what it needs to be. No place is really what it needs to be.
