The Divided States of America ( An Iternaray of Ignorance )A Poem by Matt Stitzel
The divided states of America
Caught in this iternaray of ignorance Answers we need won't be found of your t.v. Or in that big sports stadium you'll pay to see Not on that hip hop stage either And not in any politian man's hands Stuck in a superficial state Of tinder dates and temporary mates From Facebook statuses and instagram posts Snapping chats and tweeting twots Sought after sex symbols on designer drugs Were Melting our minds in this melting pot Craigslist killings and another school shooting Police brutality there and a hate crime here Seems society has become some sorry Shakespearean tragedy in which we all take part in and perform. While in a blurry storm of ridiculous news stories that are now the norm. Nothing is scared anymore with thinking is becoming more and more obsolete Google this and my phone will know that. Afraid to see what's in store for the uninsured masses and the broken home, broken down blue collar, poorer than hell social classes With a side of stupidity thats continually trying our own self worth which is perpetually dying These tired eyes cry at the sight trashcan filled streets and all the feats of frightened fighting. Once again I find no truth in what lyes in the minds and driving fires behind most people's eyes. © 2015 Matt Stitzel |
