[Newspoetry] AMERICA LOST?

[Mark Wilson]

HAS AMERICA LOST HER WAY?
HAS OUR AMERICA GONE ASTRAY?
IS AMERICA OFF COURSE?
AS IT NOW RUSHES TO USE FORCE?
RAMPANT NATIONALISM AND LOSS OF HUMAN RIGHTS,
ARE THESE IDEALISTIC HEIGHTS?
THE MILITARY REIGNS SUPREME,
AS TERRORISTS AND SCAPEGOATS ARE EVERYWHERE IT WOULD SEEM?
ONLY 'REAL' MEN NEED STAY,
AS MANIPULATED MASS MEDIA LOOKS THE OTHER WAY?
SO OBSESSED WITH NATIONAL SECURITY,
RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT ARE NOW MIXED FOR NATIONAL PURITY?
CORPORATE POWER IS ABOVE ALL PROTECTED,
WHILE LABOR POWER IS REJECTED?
INTELLECTUALS AND ARTISTS ARE SO CURSED,
WHILE FOR CAPITAL PUNISHMENT THERE IS A THIRST?
WIDESPREAD CRONYISM AND CORRUPTION
ARE MASKED BY FRAUDULENT ELECTION ERUPTION?
IS IT TOO LATE?
IS OUR AMERICA BECOMING A DICTATOR STATE?
