We.

We, as a country, are corrupt.
We kill for others to live.
We judge by the un-changeable pigment of someone's skin.
We care more about the lives of people on the pages of magazines than our own.
We hear about children dying in far off places from starvation, while we sit there, eating only half of the huge meal laid before us.
We study to get good grades so we can get into a good college, then we study even harder so we can graduate from that college, and spend the rest of our lives working.
We laugh at the pain of others.
We lie and we cheat and we steal.
We crush and we destroy and we kill.
And we don't even give a shit that we're doing it.

I suppose this can be called a poem. But, to me, it's something that I came up with and wrote down on my leg whilst I was baking in a car outside of the Home Depot.
