This is a small poem I wrote months ago about how unfair and horrible America can be sometimes. I was seriously irritated with America or the president or whatever and I wrote it. When I say long story, I mean the reason for the title is a long story. America used to be the home of the free But what we are now brings shame to me We're hostile and greedy And don't care about the needy We don't care about wildlife, We don't care about trees, Our pets are so neglected that they've all got fleas So America, take a look at yourself. The land of the free.... Or the land free of glee?
It's kind of stupid, I just have a bit of a temper. My friend likes it though. She'll be looking through my writing notebook and someone will be coming over to stare over her shoulder and I'll say "No! Don't show her that! It's my stupid poem!" and she'll tell me that it's good. But whatever, I'm breaking my rules about no one ever seeing it and revealing it to ya'll.

I agree. I can totally understand why other countries hate us sometimes.

You should have heard something I said the other day. I didn't know what Guantanamo Bay was because I basically live under a rock. So I'm likek: Me:Mom, what's Guantanamo Bay? Mom:A prison camp for <insert whatever it was she said here> Me:Isn't that sort of like what Hitler did? Mom: *most likely is thinking:I shouldn't have bought her those books...*

Yeah, that was George W.'s thing. I think Obama is trying to shut it down. Leave it to the U.S. to think they're the boss of everyone.

Yeah, he is. I'm not surprised it was Bush's idea.
