NARCISST NATION?

Contributed by Steeleyes on Thursday, 22nd January 2004 @ 05:29:04 AM in AEST
Topic: political

A Narcisst Nation?
Well, it looks that way
Though it's just half true
For I have met some beauties
More than 50% of you

A Narcisst Nation?
Hey, that’s not even a word!
A total generalisation
Is truly just absurd

I know the ones I’ve met
Have been the greatest people and yet
When a nation hugs itself
And steals a whole world’s wealth?

That’s what I call
a Narcisst Nation
That takes much more
than it’s own true ration

The 50%+ who are truly bright
Have a feel
For what is right
They care enough to really think
Not just consume
But make the link

Between what is American need
And what is simply American greed
They see the environment is not eternal
That endless consuming brings a scene infernal

They are truly the best I have known
Beautiful Americans - kind and warm
They have a depth deep in their soul
And a caring nature with selfless goal

To really look and see what’s there
To try each day to do what’s fair
Not simply a native of a greedy land
But a global vision to understand

And the other half of this coin?
The loud mouths with closed mind
The ones who feel not think
Who’d rather stay sure and blind?

Well, what can we say?
We hear from them day on day
Their stupid selfish shout:
“Our way, our way, our way!”

Petty nationalists, bigots and ugly souls
Too stupid to know they’re doomed
Eat up the resource of a thousand years
Our planet by them consumed

These narcissts are truly selfish souls
Thinking only Americans count
Trapped in narrow minds so bitter and cold
The casualties abroad will mount

So, it’s up to the spirits who truly care
To show America’s truly great side
To build a society that shines so bright
They are American. And with pride!

Nice write. Maybe someday we will actually follow this. First need to get Bush out of office.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
