america, land of power
hydroelectric
nuclear
solar
political
and all other sorts
what are they whispering to you? what?

don't keep up this insanity
don't perpetuate the inanity
o god.

my america
why are you hiding? your blood is showing through
your translucent skin--
why have you hidden your face from me,
america?
what are they whispering to you? why do you stare
as you listen;
eyes wide,
tears staining your precious soft skin.
