Americana

The houses are dark
nothing shown
but a flickering light
from the television
left on.
The world has fallen
to the depths of
despair and anguish.
Women selling themselves,
trying to make a living.
Drugs line the streets,
offering a better tomorrow.
Fornication, lust, greed.
Criminals escaping
their deserved punishment.
Sickly children left
to care for themselves.
This is what
America's fallen to.
Why is there no justice?
Why is there no balance?

Oh, America has gone down the tubes withing the last few years. That's all I have to say, this poem says the rest.
