I Baste America

I baste America...
for our nuclear waste
our priorities misplaced
our public facilities defaced
our intentions for life spaced
our better judgments encased
our fundamental morals erased
our path of development retraced
our unwillingness to make any haste
our ancestors' accomplishments disgraced
our overseas manufactured products debased.
America's eminent apocalypse is fast being embraced.
To eradicate our nation's fast paced, ignorance based decline,
we must lambaste our distaste for raced action;
have our inaction cased then placed safe;
interlaced in braced paste forevermore.
We must write America for America.
We must write for the future
if not for anything else.
I write America.
