America the Wasteland
By: iiiPenguin
It's "Them" It's "Them"
They are sick and twisted
They can eat you up alive.
Sometimes I feel I'm the only one who will survive
They are the same.
Be careful now.You will be converted.
Teenagers pregnant and Smoking.
It's not right.It's just not right.
Underage parents.Underage drinkers.
One night was all.To have fun.
Somebody brings beer.
Everybody is drunk.
They could have said no
They could have said "I'll have none."
Everyone is in bed now.
Perhaps with a girl or two.
They were stupid.
They were idiots.
That's how they all are.
They have devoured my sister and my family.
She drinks,they smoke.
Something I shall never become.
I am one who remains.
They try to devour me too.
I say "No." and "That's not right"
But they say "Sure" and "Lets have some fun tonight."
It's stupid and crazy.
I can't understand them.
They all are the same.
Perhaps to never come back.
I search for survivors.
Nobody responds.
It's up to me to bring them home.
With a loving family to hug them.
For now, they remain everywhere.
Desperate teenagers and adults.
Homeless children and families.
All because of that one night.
They chose to drink and smoke.
They chose to sleep with others.
A one night stand.
What has our great country become?
Tell me. Will you be a survivor?
Or another one of them.
One who will say "No"
Or one who will say, "Hell yes."
One who cusses.
One that is bi.
This isn't how it should be.
This just isn't right.
I have brought back a few.
Some quit smoking.
Some quit drinking.
They all look back now.
And they realize,
"I should have said no"
But that is life.
You decide.
To go down the right path
Or to go down the wrong path.
Go.Go on with your life.
You must resist.
You must be a survivor with me.
To become one who will bring them back
When I am gone.
This is what I think.
About all of "Them"
And it is true.
They have eaten my family and friends.
Some by love
Some by money.
I won't become one of them.
If you ask me,"Wanna get a beer?"
I'll say, "No.I'm going home.You are the same."
America,the home of the brave.
Has become
America,the home of the drunks and idiots.
Just say "No."
It's that simple.
If you say no,
You will live a happy life.
Healthy,secure,happy.
Look all around you.
They are thinking the same thing.
Whether it's "F**k" or "S**t"
Or "Her boobs are big"
Maybe it is "She has a sexy body."
The girls as well.
"He has a big d**k"
Get those sick and demented things out of your head.
That's what makes you all the same
That's what makes me sick of this place.
I hate it.I hate it alot.
You all make me sick of this place.
I have found a couple of survivors along the way.
They understand me.
They aren't the same.
They haven't done anything.
They don't see what is wrong.
I don't talk to the devoured.
I don't speak.
I stare at them with hope.
Maybe (s)he is a survivor.
I speak.
I talk to them.
But they turn out just the same.
They will be stupid.
With their drinking and smoking.
Don't be like them
Be a survivor.
So come with me.
To bring them back.
That's why we were made.
To save this corrupt country.
To save America, the Great.
To save one of the leading countries.
Because we believe in them
We believe,
That if we bring them back,
It will be okay.
But it is gonna be harder to do this.
We can't sit around and do nothing
While there is violence, sex,greed,and hatred.
We have to do something.
Because if we don't,
We will be punished.
We will pay for somebody elses sins.
So go forth with your life.
Go and see what happens next.
But then again,
There is a greater chance you will.
They sleep with others for enjoyment.
That's not what it was meant to be.
But that's what everyone thinks.
They have become
America, the Wasteland.

This is about America.What it has become.It doesn't rhyme.But this is the way I see America through my own eyes.Perhaps it will change the way you see it from your point of view as well.
