“America the Wasteful” – Christine Tran

23 March 2009 No Comment

only in america, waste -
living on wants, dollars defaced.
please…think about the ones that need
with mouths that lack and barely feed.
who’s to blame for this buying race?

why are the good selfless displaced
while the rich and famous embraced?
fake ano-barbie girls envied
only in america.

watch me shrink, twenty-two inch waist -
money buys me and i’m erased.
from needs to desires, brew greed -
corporate banks full, pockets emptied,
rich get richer. cash feeds disgrace
only in america.
