 Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

21 line reproach


Everybody's out to get their own,
No one goes to war to fight for America,
Some are forced and others want their glory days.
All those people on the internet
Compete with others on the internet,
And info can be misleading.
Every collector is full of guile
And weight lifters want only to impress.
Writers want to exploit make believe stories of sweet irony,
And poets tell of their trivial days.
No one reads and the newspaper makes no sense,
Movies have replaced all essential books.
And why cook? Jack In The Box is open all day.
After all, we wouldn't want to be fat,
Because the fat die young
And the young will hang themselves
While others talk momentarily about current affairs.
Besides, it's better to know more about what goes on in the world
Than what goes on in your child's suicidal mind...
America ain't all that great.
