Welcome to America
land of the free
Join the Army
and you can die for your country
for a pointless war
that should never be underway
to keep a country in riches
while millions die voiceless
Where if you don't die
you'll fight to survive
when you loose your use
they toss you away
broken and penniless
you'll die any day.
Give us your poor
your tired, hungry masses
we'll welcome you in
as long as We feel you are worthy
that you'll give everything to Our country
as long as you have money
or a degree to benefit Our country.
Welcome to America,
Land of Hippocricy,
Born from the principle that all men are equal.
Born on the idea that no one should be opposed
except for the people We don't accept
where Our hatred is based on
the color of your skin
the gods you worship
or the idea that a man can love men.
Religion is a choice no one can force.
Separation of church and state
is a must in this place
Except when it benefits Us
the wealthy your ruling class
that buys officials
and doesn't pay fair tax
Welcome to America
Pursue the American Dream
Work yourself to death
For The Illusion That Your Free

Sadly, this is most western countries.
The rich get richer, the poor just die.
Although the stark realities you so eloquently present in your post here are clearer in America, Paul (above) is right to point out that other so called wealthy western countries are well along that same road too.
Great write - thanks.
So Are you going to give activism a go, Mary? Vastly better than internalising your problems (that's not to say some self reflection isn't worthwhile). Go out there and attempt to improve things. You may only succeed in small ways, but the fight will still have been worthwhile.
