America And Why In Part It Is Broken Poem by James McLain

You excluded them for so long
that they
live a dysfunctional life and think
it is normal.
Arresting the homeless
most are mentally ill and
after more trauma their eyes glazed
to many death is preferable
it is after all
why they drink and do drugs
because so many think that to alleviate
their pain when their brutal life
is so bad
is some sort of betrayal to a broken
system that does not work.
ISIS can through their campaigns
recruit our young
the American young that our government
has no use for
how can our youth excluded from the
process
of becoming educated
afford the hundreds of thousands of
dollars of debt
they can't pay back and remain
self sufficient.
ISIS lies to them like our very own government
and our young being impressionable
believe that they can make a difference
now and U.S. older folks
that can see the difference but it's to late
and our young are a new manufactured
group of young adults to put into their prison's.
