Modern USA

Images of violence on the internet cost money!
Violence is geared to profit these days.
War is certainly continuing on and on throughout humanity's passing,
is it just our nature to practice conquest?
Winners, losers switch places,
grudges, lands, politics.

USA is currently heading toward a civil war,
extremes make headlines, terror motivates hatred,
USA is not "the land of the free."
Jails, prisons overcrowded, overused.
Gangs run neighborhoods,
police do not "protect and serve" inner city residents.

Bland suburbs provide blinders to cities.
False sense of security purchased at an electronic store.
Guns don't stop violence, they feed it.
Military-industry has robbed childhood, education, individualism.
"Government of the people, for the people"
May occur.

Hi Susan, what a powerful honest write that sums up the reality of the mess the US finds itself in. I live in Scotland and agree with every word you wrote. Loved it.

Thank you, Grant! I am glad that there are people in Scotland who see the "mess." America is an anagram for AA Crime, I discovered years ago. So true these days. And for awhile now. I appreciate you reading! Susan xoxo
