My Secret

Memories can be boxed away, stashed for rainy days. Hidden treasures show me your face, identical to my brother’s, but it’s me that holds your secret. A light that shines through, given to me by you. You left too soon, I guess He was in a hurry, to show me how it works, to teach me in your ways. Movies and photographs tell me your story, but even the sweetest of reminiscence can’t bring you back. There is no magic, no bottled elixir to conjure your spirit. You were gone that fateful day, left nothing but a shell and a little girl lost.

America

America, Where you can stumble out of a frat house and buy a burrito Where sick f***s from the bar next door vomit on my car And my neighbor leaves her prescriptions lying on the porch Where the television constantly plays ads for political candidates Campaigning 365 days per year As if any of them are going to actually try and fix anything America, Where you can go to a superstore and buy a gun Without a background check or an ID But I have to spend eight hours on the phone To see a f***ing therapist America, Where racists and creationists run for political office And we sit with our thumbs up our a**es Staring blankly at their ugly faces Sipping oil from a mug made out of a penguin In the land where JFK and MLK were shot for spreading peace The men who spread hate are given a free pass America, Where we b**** and moan about education And how the kids in China have better scores But if we lift a finger to help the schools Someone screams about their taxes And their 30 god**** cents from their paycheck To help someone else Then when you ask them if gays can marry They say “god would be angry” So America, F*** you and your patriotism Your insane political parties Your excessive personality And your lack of responsibility Sincerely, A Concerned Citizen
