Dark Universe

What kind of world do we live in?
Where the media focuses
On which celebrity is wearing what
Instead of raising awareness
For starving children

Where shows like "Jersey Shore"
Focus on people getting drunk
Instead of a show about Make A Wish
A foundation that grants sick kids wishes

What kind of place is this?

A State
Where a man will kill 14 people
Just "because"

A country
Where same sex marriage
Is legal in 6 states
But beastiality is legal in 22

A nation
That throws out thousands of tons
Of perfectly good food
Where other nations starve

A world
Where our toilet water is cleaner
Than most places drinking water.

We are a disgrace
We are spoiled
We are stupid
We are americans
