gone was the girl

gone was the girl once innocent of love, heartaches...

The Dragon

There once lived a princess In a kingdom not so...

our dying america

*Author's note*: i know this poem is rough in places, but i just wanted to get a point across.................. 

 

 

I'm sick of this fake reality,

this sugar coated dream,

where everyone,

is different than who they seem,

 

They put on,

a false front ,

trying to be,

something they're not,

 

With plastic smiles,

and the same dyed hair,

no one can think on their own,

they're too worried about what to wear,

 

Political leaders,

who don't give a damn,

pretending they care,

but it's all just a scam,

 

All that they want,

is to be the one on top,

telling us they're the best,

and that our troubles will stop,

 

Trying to brainwash,

todays youth,

to think like they think ,

and do what they do,

 

Everyone seems,

to go with the crowd,

because being different,

isn't accepted nor allowed,

 

Slowly but surely,

they are taking all of our freedoms away,

it will continue until,

the entire constitution decays,

 

No one thinks of others,

and always puts themselves first,

the state of america,

is almost at its worst,

 

But of course,

no one accepts responsibility,

they want to put the fault on others ,

and do it with much hostility,

 

So we are digging our country,

into a deep dark grave,

soon it will be irreversible,

it will be to late

good poem

Nice poem...but don't worry too much. As long as people keep their heads on straight and vote smart, America is just going through a bad patch.

I mean... wars are always messy depressing things...and there are weird long depressing wars going on. But ....well...vote right. Think right. Keep an open mind. Don't get depressed.

i really am concerned with some of the people on here. Just because you wrote a poem expressing your feelings with America doesn't mean your An anarchist or Al-Quada. this is exactly what i mean. when you decide to open up your mind people try to deny you that right. i am disgusted with some of these comments that you received that's all i can say. but anyway i have something explaining my thoughts on America too. it's called "Beautiful America" you should check it out. but i really enjoyed this. i'm glad there is someone else out there who isn't afraid to speak their mind.

I hate people who label themselves. That's actually the first thought that came to me when I read this. I understand completely of your disgust of certain people. This is a very sad but realistic story and the last verses describe what our future will be completely if this keeps up. What a horrible generation to be born into.

GREAT.

Man. Great poem.

Never could stand this mainstream, fit the mold

or else setting we've established ...

It's the stupidest thing ever.

Damn power-hungry, self-absorbed bigots.

Self-interest, that's about all you see nowadays...

Way to clearly put this out.

Excellent once again.

Personally thought this was inspirational as well.

that one negative comment must have

come from a very close-minded and easily

manipulated dumb ass.

This is the harsh reality of life anywhere in the world. Here in Canada, the fate is same. Your angst is justified. But have you thought of a solution.
