At times I am hateful, irrational and ignorant of the
world I
live in
because my government thinks its best. Though my true
desire is
to be loving, rational and knowledgeable about the
world, I
remain stuck with all of the rest.
I was
raised to be a greedy scavenger; Life is about the survival
of the fittest and that’s all I know.
I would love to be able to
share my
material wealth but my greed will not let go.
I am full of arrogance and I am quick to express anger
because
I am anti- intellectual. My own thoughts exist in
a vast
wasteland;
Having humility and peace in my life eludes
me because
my ambitions leave me ineffectual.
My bigotry is my ultimate stupidity. Though I would like
others to
receive the same treatment I receive my lack of
intelligence fosters stern rigidity.
I can’t help myself; I am driven
by fear and sexual duplicity.
Living
without fear and having a healthy sex life appears to be
filled
with complexity.
The owners
of my country and my government don’t trust me
to think.
They must constantly manipulate me with the media
to motivate me to act from pure emotions
and alcoholic drink.
My love
for my country is used against me. I am compelled
to fight
unjust wars for fear of being called un-patriotic and
wanting
to flee.
My church has its hand in my pocket. They leave me
struggling
with internal conflicts that have no solutions except
to fire
the rocket.
Yes, I am
a poor American. I am sorry for being used to do
things
that I don’t understand; erroneously giving my life
for
political and economic interest that fly in the sand.
I just
hope there is intelligent life somewhere in the
universe
that will understand me. I know not what I do and I
shall not flee.
