Distress

To the Nations of the World,
do you see?
Look at the life before you;
blood in the streets.

Breadbaskets gone dry;
Lead by new hands.
Nations of the World,
inquiry?

Dissolute,
Absolute,
Corrupt societies;
Surround us
in absence of
life itself.

Dust spreads,
with infection in site;
famine;
disease;
pestilence;
plights.

Still the breadbasket has
gone dry.
Committing a
violent suicide.

Of Nations of the World.
Hidden lies,
hidden behind cameras
smiles;
hand shakes.

Men die in poverty;
women wail at the news;
children learn
that they
are simply
a
killing
machine
Nintendo
and the
Wii
provide for
a Governments society
of indescribable
tyranny.

In the bread basket of the world of Nations.
The Red, White, and Blue.
The men of the past.
Hung the flag
UP SIDE DOWN
in distress,
as people become lax.

For not only a town to see,
but for a Nation to be shamed
Forever in History.
