The American Dream (is cheap overseas labor)

Pax Americana and atomic thoughts,
You buy the words kid and it's you
They've bought. Digital diatribes
And Monday genocides, all pictures
In a box. Behind the screen there's
A child screaming and a siren singing
The glory of a dream well spent.

America, Americana, dayglo green,
Toy robots, plastic chairs and toe socks.
Disposable cups and vacant wants;
A plastic bow and suction cup arrow
From the dollar store down the block.
