JUST LIKE HIGH SCHOOL

 

Some see

The beginning of the night

A world swathed in darkness

The plague of greed in virus form

Breathing and breeding

Its destructive germ

Immolating purity with disgust

As though being good was unjust

When the evil merchants

Peddle utopian phrases

Indicting dozens of generations

That, individually, made choices

Some for good

And others, abysmal

Losers and deceitful animals

While the United States of America

Generally, stood for good

And history shows it

Toppling dictators from Europe and Asia

Sending money, medicine and doctors

To a starving post world wars world

            And then, the opportunists.

            Who puff themselves up

            See Corinthians

            And usurp, feed, defile and burp

            Your politicians among them

            And you go, why?

            And the answer pops up uniformly

Selfish greed among the top five

Better now to compromise

Yes, black and white, brown and yellow

Hear me, you are all just equal

No group is special, just like high school
