Usa Outsider Poem by Harlan Simantel

always an outsider
where i prefer to be
not a go-along with
thoughtless insanity

let's go to war!
says the christian right
because our leader
tells us to
those stupid peace lovers
haven't a clue!

enrich the rich,
their wealth will trickle down
the poor can help themselves
out of their own darn mess

drill! drill! drill! for oil
what unspoiled wilderness is for!
If exxon messes up and spills
well, hire for cleanup
those miserable poor!

we are the right
our name says it all
always right
the rest always wrong
and we've got lots of money
to fight, fight, fight!

our nation is our god
we're usa number one
don't you dare criticize!
we are proud of our very proud eyes
