Normal In America

Truly it isn't that long ago, the people wanted, to be a part of the U.S. Regime

They emigrated from every part of the world, their quest the “American Dream”

However they did it, with their hands or their wit, they knew the opportunity was there

With perseverence they attained success, where they couldn't have done it elsewhere

Where once there was honour, trust, respect and democracy, with hard work you'd succeed

Has now transposed into deceit and dishonesty, coincided with a whole lot of greed

The money controllers and we know who they are, the only care is for personal gain

Whatever gets hurt in the process is collateral damage, morals and ethics no refrain

The United States has become a debtor Nation, the average citizens' up to their neck

The Country itself is so far in debt and no one's, keeping spending in check

Since Washington's until 1980, it's been roughly two-hundred years

Then for the following thirty-five, seems to have been, no fiscal overseers

During the first two hundred the national debt grew, to approximately eight hundred billion

Then, through only the next thirty-five years increased 2000%, now to almost twenty trillion

It continues to rise by forty thousand per second, can this debt ever be paid

How is a debt of this magnitude ever fulfilled or is this, just some kind of charade

A myriad of illegal wars and skirmishes and countless trillions, of taxpayer's dollars spent

Not-to-mention the misappropriation of funds, does anyone care where all the money went

The one saving grace for the United States, is that the “greenback”, is the international currency

For if that weren't the case, there'd be a whole lot of chaos, in the land of the honest and free

The largest national debt of any place in the world, begs the question, how long is this upward spiral

The epidemic of this unheard of, money spending, has gone completely viral

Listening to the American media and with so many broadcasts, that seem to be very formal

The public is told that everything in the “States”, is good and everything's back to normal

On an international level, what is it that, America comes out in first place

It has the largest inmate population and incarceration rate and is, running out of space

Seventy-one thousand juveniles alone locked up, with judges pushing incarceration

Do you think maybe just maybe, may have something to do with, the penal system and privatization

The largest numbers of murders and rapes, along with, the highest rate of crime

The highest use of legal and illegal drugs in the world, and this stat is destined to climb

So, so many investment scams and manipulations, attributing to personal debt

Most money given to fake charities and such, is the big picture so very hard to get

Most number of women taking anti-depressants and the most plastic surgery

Highest rate of teenage pregnancies and STD's and also pornography

Greatest number of TV watchers and soft drink consumers, with 36% grossly obese and 65% overweight

Highest number of mental disorders and one-person households, leads in highest world divorce rate

Largest traffic jams and cars stolen and the highest vehicle-related deaths

Highest in student loans, mortgage and credit card debt, maybe time to catch a few breaths ?

Largest trade deficit throughout the world, no country even comes close

If those medications are not working well enough, suppose, it's time to double the dose

leads the world in gun ownership and also, the largest number of arms exported

The highest number of nuclear tests, of all the world, ever to be purported

The most suicides, especially with teens, a lot related to their prescribed medications

Most number of “hail satan” protesters, than any other planet's nations

Greatest number of fast food places,like McDonalds and Wendys, lets not forget the Burger Kings

Americans consume so much bad fat and sugar, think about the burden to healthcare that brings

The cost of obesity is 344 billion and for sure, there is no other country on earth

It costs between nine and fifteen thousand to have a child, depending on a normal or cesarean birth

Most money spent on elections and America, leads in blatant government waste

Leads in the most outrageous security measures, more than, any other country's people have faced

More funds spent on the military, than China, Russia, India, Japan and NATO combined

Most fossil fuels consumed per person and so many, “fracking” sites still being assigned

How can things be normal with all the mass shootings, the grief and the associated strife

Food stamp recipients have doubled and half the children born today, will need food stamps in their life

Every single month forty-nine percent of Americans receive, a benefit of a certain kind

Fifty-two percent earning less than thirty thousand per year, shouldn't these stats just blow one's mind

How can the Federal Reserve purchase 70% of the treasury bonds, simply creating money out of thin air

If a country's money supply increases by over 400%, in such a short time, does anyone really care

Most energy used per person, both electicity and oil and second place to coal consumption

The most number of police and military bases or is this simply just a presumption

Greatest number of laws in the world by far, with a lot of them being absurd

The most number of lawyers per capita and law suits like no one has heard

Leads the world in racism and forty million people, have a variety of anxiety disorders

Mud-slinging and controversial presidential candidates, with one wanting to fence in it's borders

So much criticism of other countries, especially those, who don't go along with American policies

Belligerence over oil and such, puts military Moms and Pops ill-at-ease

With the media reporting, “everything's back to normal”, with the aforementioned, tuly how can this be

These statements are subjective and begs the question, what kind of normalcy

One day maybe there'll be selfless people. Leading the U.S., who willtry and straighten things out

For the future of this “once great Nation” is perilous and of this, there is no doubt

Think of the words of a once great leader, in the land of the true, brave and free

Ask, what I can do for my Country and not, what my Country can do for me
