America II

      out of respect for Allen Ginsberg


America, you have raised me, and I have
   nothing
America, I've got five dollars and thirteen cents
   April 16th, 1996

   Your madness has finally gotten to me.
 
America, you break your back for green crisp papers.
America, would you suck my dick for a piece
   of cardboard?

America, you sold opium to innocent Chinamen
   and some of us know about it. You
   called it the Boxer Rebellion.

America, you tested drugs on your own people
  and a few of us know about it. You called
   it the Search for the Manchurian Candidate

America, you stole yourself from the Peaceful
   Warriors and we all know about it. We call
   it home!

America, I feel for the Unabomber.
America, I secretly cheered him on and
  now I'm not sorry.
America, he kills to serve his purpose
   just like you.
       -He's saving you and you don't even know it.

I spark up every chance I get.
I sit outside for hours and wonder
   where everyone's rushing to.

America, you let your moral life
   be dictated to you.

America I saw you fall. I watched
as Geroldo opened Al Capones vault
and it was empty and now interviews
lesbian prostitute Devil worshipping junkies
who sleep with there cousins.
America, you pay for and watch this shit
   by the millions

            I wish I wasn't serious

America, I'm sinking in your shit of Moloch
America, your progress is choking me
 

America, your technology is giving me testicular cancer
America, you secretly whore yourself to
   foreign investors and then publicly bash them.

America you're right. Those damn Communists
   are evil!
Who would want free health care for all.
Thanks to you we can say "it"
   will never work, just ask Cuba.

America, I will never hear Tom Brokow
   say "American casualties zero, Evil Foreign
   Enemy 355" and feel glad my oil prices
   will not go up.

America, you cry bloody murder if a Mexican
   breaks his ass picking lettuce for $1.75 a day.
How much would little Chip or Buffy do it for?
America, willing to buy lettuce at $8.25 a head

America, I shed a tear for you today

We have to stop those damn Japs, you're
   absolutely right. Kadaffi could never be king,
   and you America, you can never be free.

America, this is the impression I get
   from looking in the television set
America, stare hard enough and face yourself
