A Dying Nation (Poem)
The government is helping
But not where we need it most
We're fighting for the world
But what about our own Gulf Coast

They say we're the strongest
Of all the world powers
But that didn't stop a third world country
From taking out our Twin Towers

Half a world away
We march through the Iraqi heat
I guess they forgot about
Our people dying on the street

The way our government
Solves problems is insane
Their big action againts terrorism
Is "no water bottles on a plane"

Why do the lives
Of the famous keep thriving
When just a few miles away
There are people barely survivning

These fast food industries
Never seem to cease
But they can't figure out why
Two thirds of our nation is obese?

We're always wasting gas
So it shouldn't be surprising
That after a 500 mile stock car race
Prices at the pump keep rising

For over a century
We've had a problem with pollution
If we can clone a sheep
There should be a sollution

Everyday new factories
And plants are swarming
I hope they're building some
That'll prevent global warming

It seems like as govenor
Arnold has some new desires
But not even Mr. Olympia
Can prevent California's wildfires

There are advances in medicine
But don't speak to soon
There's no cure for cancer
But we can walk on the moon

The school board always says
That school is the safest place to be
Just tell that to the parents
Of a little Christian girl named Cassie

Our government has no problem
With wasting a million bucks
And that's just another reason
Why this country sucks

Our nation's failure
Has to be put on the spot
We need to work on what's important
And forget about what's not

Through every war, every death
And all the devastation
United we stand
A crippled dying nation
