Unsweet America

America is no more that gorgeous lady
After whom everyone used to go crazy
I hear poor America is getting sick and achy
And of this truth we are no more cagey
Isn’t the once-strong dollar getting shaky?
And no one knows into which pit dives thy economy
America, my once-hottest baby,
The world is most beautiful in its diversity
But why compete for more and more hegemony?
America, put on your eyes and look at your streets’ hungry,
Alkies, beggars, homeless… and helpless junkie’!
Don’t you think them and the world need a bit of your mercy?
Isn’t it high time you called home the boys of your Navy?
Or are you happy the way they got the world messy?
America, my once-hottest baby,
You know how much I care and love thee

But I want you to grow up and be a woman that brings glee
Into our heavy hearts and heartily fights the ghost of poverty
America, will you be able to cleanse of hunger our beloved country?
Dear America, mature and make thy people happy!

louis gander,  

I'm sorry to say that America is not going to be much help to the world anymore. We have become lazy, self-centered, and greedy. We vote for people in Washington who have spent all our money, our kids money and our grandchildrens money. They can't stop spending and the debt now exceeds the GNP. We have taxed our businesses out of business (including me) and there is no will to work anymore. We can only hope that the next strong country doesn't end up like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union - or we'll all be slaves...

Ye Caterpillar,  

Amerika is at war with itself and the World. UsA has Brits in Guantanamo Camp and at least one CIA 'black site' (torture centre) in Poland, amongst many other places around the World. On 31.December 2011 Obama signed the NDAA, giving the U.S. Gov the power to permanently incarcerate ANYONE within the USA in military detention, citizen or not, without due process or the right to speak in ones own defense. Amerika is now a de facto military dictatorship. There's still plenty of good people living there though, however evil the government. My heart goes out to those Freedom-Loving Yanks, they face a tough future. Love to All!
