What A Beautiful World by ~minniemae:iconminniemae:





“Good Citizens” meet each other in the black tar street,
stabbing each other with their trendy cell phones
while unfit parents blame bad video games
and punk goth gangster gay music.

Depressed teenagers try to make themselves beautiful
By starving themselves with fad diets
That promise if you buy their foods
You’ll be loved too—
Instead of learning how to loose
ungodly obese weight that
RUINS
America’s image—

All the while homosexuality, sexuality, MTV and HIV
(SEX! SEX! SEX!)
Put “love” and “sex” on the same
Level as candy bars and
MILKSHAKES.

America’s a victim of our physiology and psychology.
So throw the U.S. some pretty Prozac and a heavy dose of
“express yourself” and
illegal immigrants and everybody will be
FUCKING
swell.

Our leaders fuck their secretaries and whine about it
While dictators try to tell us that…
There is a war?
There isn’t a war?
With who?
Iraq?
Islam?
Nazi’s?
(Whoops! My bad. That’s the Pope.)

And we’re still fighting for equality but
We’re really trying to get the
White man
To apologize for something that happened
500 years ago.
We want our reimbursements, dammit!

And we sue McDonalds because our
FAT ASSES
Couldn’t stop eating after the tenth hamburger—

All the while the cell phones RING and RING and RING
When no one is calling.

A slam poem that's meant to be read aloud. Another piece created for Creative Writing. I'm quite proud of it--the assignment was to reflect my Generation. It's kind of sad though...because I don't really have alot of good to say about it.
