Take some time to realize the state of the nation
Poverty, war, and gluttony, apathy and inflation
Prisons full of minor offenders, don't you know
Empty promises tossed around by the Obama administration
The state of the nation is brought into the light
Officials of the nation have no sense of wrong or right
Mothers sons and daughters tremble in the night
The mighty US Dollar has lost the fight
Whispers softly in my ear
My country is dying year by year

Like Greece, like Rome, like Russia - the U.S. has peeked. The world is no more sinful or awful, or dangerous - it has always been so, we just get bombarded with more information than the psyche can cope with which makes it seem more intense. Toffler predicted this in the 60's - it will be increasingly more difficult to deal with reality as time speeds up. I fear the loss of hope for billion of earth denizens. Still, hope is our best export. - allets -
