Innocent America
You see so many grown-ups complaining
Our generation is failing
Their waging their fingers and shaming
For something that we can't help
Well let me start advising
The average IQ of children is rising
And teen pregnancy is the lowest its been in a long time
Yet you still think we're a crime
You claim we're a stain on this world
On this nation
And that our future is dim and grim
Well let me tell you, we're doing great
In the world that you've ruined
You cry and complain
Nothing goes your way
Well let me tell you something
We've all been chained for years
And when we finally fight back
You scream you're the victim
And you say it was great being a kid
That you could play outside without being abducted
We can't do that now though
Cause it's you and your children
That are beating and killing us children
And I guess in conclusion
I'm saying this nation is screwed up
Because you scream about a flag being taken down
And not about innocent people being taken down.

This was a very fiery poem I wrote while I was very angry and I think it really highlights some problems we have here in the U.S. This poem was meant to be read aloud by me so the beat may seem off and I apologize about that.
