Sam: I wouldn't criticize most Americans. Most Americans have good hearts. They're often misinformed, but basically kind.
Chris: Maybe so, but I would criticize the nation's gangster-leaders.
Sam: Your voice doesn't really matter. When it comes down to it, less than 1% of the population actually counts. The vast majority of people are pretty much like cows: seriously under-informed & rather easy to slaughter.
Ted: Hmm. Maybe I should study arthimetic more.

Solid American - an art work by T Newfields created in August 2003

Solid Amerikans?

Solid Amerikans haf
brains ah lead
konsciences ah konkrete
'n hearts mustly bled

Solid Amerikans haf
memoriezzz that easily shred
'n prefer kun-versations in which
unpleasant things err unsaid

Solid Amerikans haf
appetites grusssly overfed
'n lust ta get marr
ahh economic bread

Do we need moore sordid Amerikans
to muck our planet grate?

Arr do we need people
with enuf compisson 'n kourage
to wake up 'n listen
ta dah world's growing rage?
