I SEE America competing, the many attempts I see;
Those of working men--each of them buying their way to acceptance, sad and pathetic,
The teenager competing, as he thrives for his peers' attention,
The spoiled child competing for what he believes he's entitled to,
The parent competing through their offspring when they have no outlet themselves,
The aspiring performer competing for the affection, and attention of his country,
The corporate leader competing for control of his market, with Machiavellian method,
The governement bigshot competing for aristocratic approval,
The self-deprecating every man competing with himself for a sense of peace,
Competing, with narrow minds, for their misplaced priotrities and ideals.

Wow, this is really good. It's so true that our society is really competitive. You had some really good lines in this!
ReplyDeleteThis was super pessimistic, but sadly true. The past few years of America's history have been turbulent, and it makes me wonder what this time shall have looked like 30 years from now. Nice post.
