American Idle

 
Vote now for your favorite performer!
Or else your ballot will go up in smoke
Because the latter unlike the former
Is a serious offense and not a joke
 
Some like to stoke flames of hate
Then pretend and look the other way
But all this useless idling just creates
More mayhem to everyone’s dismay
 
Still many strive to move forward
With growth, progress, and common goals
While other’s stagger with vile words
Delusional and completely out of control
 
Many of us can sense a wind of change
We feel hope and have that hunch
But now the pyros and the deranged
Have gotten their panties up in a bunch
