My country of origin

Oh America! Still living in former gilded age--
Still struggling through your growing pains
And adolescent delusions of grandeur.
"Look at our power!!
Our military might!
Our wealth and our fashion!" this nation clamors.

Yet under the sleek and shiny surface
lie our cultural and societal tumors...
Our nation swapped wisdom for glamor
meritorious art for commercial designs.
Culture, you see, can be purchased
on sale for $20.99!!
