    you say it's the media's doing
    but who are the viewers?

    You curse the politicians
    but who are their voters?

    When your children join gangs
    steal, kill, and rape
    who will you blame?

    When all your votes go to the Red or the Blue
    how can you be surprised, when they bring nothing new?

    And the corporations taking your power
    you keep feeding, as they devour

    Yes, America is being killed
    but there isn't a murderer to try
    my fellow Americans
    this is suicide.

    Great thoughts! This should be recited at the end of the evening news. Every night. Globally.

    Mmm I'd agree more with something like "assisted suicide". Can't put all the blame on the masses. This is circular causality when things are not that linear.

    I know you're not. And i should have said the poem doesn't understand and not you, sorry if I offended.

    you're young yet, maybe down the road it will show its subtleties to you :p
