Free-write: poetry

American Nack

In a world as advanced and delicate as ours
Where people cruise around in their tiny foreign cars,
There stands a society in so great a mess
That even the experts can't even give a guess.
"Deficit, pollution" are what we hear,
Not things we celebrate, joy or cheer.
Ads on the TV and Hollywood actors,
Pro Sports and shows all play as factors.
Technologically advanced and educated we are,
But from perfect, we still are quite far.
Its tough to tell if all this is good,
For its ethics we lack and "right" we should
Learn about and get down packed,
Instead of negativity, the American Nack.

  1. I really like this. It's well written, rhyming pattern is easy to follow. My question is if you are saying that pro-sports, hollywood, ect. are to blame for how our society is???

  2. I think that my favorite line is "Its tough to tell if all this is good". We all sat their and bashed on America, we bashed on our society, and we bashed on how americans live. But we are included in these americans. If its not good, then why do we choose to let ourselves be consumed by it everyday.. just a thought.
