Nukes in Iran,

Killings ravage the land,

Death and its mighty hand,

Scour the people,

This is a staple,

To Earth’s society,

Its crumbling social hierarchy,

Blood in the rivers,

Giving children the shivers,

Never forget what they saw,

Yet somehow all of the killings are against the law,

But it goes on,

And it flows through the street,

Like it is god’s cheat,

To end the world,

We don’t realize it yet,

But the social configuration.

Of earth’s one nation,

Has destroyed this planet,

With man made claims,

To give people the blame,

For our cataclysmic failures did not help,

To realize that these man made creations,

Had destroyed themselves,

These man made ideas,

To describe the unknown,

“are we alone?”, No!

We have sacrificed the integrity,

Of a species with so much dignity,

And gave the earth all of its many problems. 

Of this country I guess,

Displays the political prowess,

Of our hypocritical success,

America,

Being blown way out of proportion,

No viable way to kill it, abortion,

The corrupt roam our streets.

Block to block pulling out their heat.

Body Cams pick it all up,

We’ve seen people shot up,

Blood red, 

Stiff and dead.

Watching the courts decide,

Made me think of this slow winding genocide.

That is killing these hypocritical streets. 

Couple people at a time,

Because every few seconds someone dies. 

Floating ‘round this country like different -ism’s,

Racism, sexism, ageism, 

Et cetera,

Those words being thrown around,

Like an MMA fighter taken to the ground,

Overused, over thought, 

Overshadowed, overshot.,

All of these words,

Being used to get a message heard,

That our systems are broken,

The fact that this is now being spoken,

Is revolutionary,

Compared to those cheeseheads who love their dairy,

Who kept another system broken,

By voting red,

This country is acting up again.

But for better or worse,

We won't do that,

Notice where we at,

Violence at all corners,

Terrorists without borders,

Killing doctors with orders,

To be a doctor without a border,

Taking journalists,

Destroying the lists,

Killing, the blood mists,

Out of the body,

Like the world's economy,

Dead.

Work on us first,

Before we charge with the thirst,

To kill the killers of us,

While we feel the lust,

To kill. 

My words only deceitful,

Because I only watch on,

As the guns turn on,

Spraying the crowd with rubber,

Tensions get even number,

Crowds ever so intense,

This does not make any sense,

The US already destroyed the Lakota,

They put them in South Dakota,

Then they took South Dakota,

And displaced the Lakota again,

Because The US government,

Tricked and lied again. 

They say they are finished,

But America never stops,

All we do is kill,

And take metaphorical crops,

Because America never stops. 

5% no sobriety,

Think about the casualties,

Of all these abnormalities,

Because society is crazy,

And all these drunks are lazy,

This is our life,

Pulling through the strife,

Cars off of cliffs,

As the people taking hits,

Under the influence,

Driven by ignorance,

6 feet under the ground.

Like old gamblers rolling the dices,

Obama is the founder of ISIS,

Claims like this,

Can either be hit or miss,

Depending on what side you view,

You can see this to,

Be a claim of reason,

though that might be treason,

Domestic issues,

Bullets ripping through the tissues,

Of the people running away,

5 shots fired today,

In the back of the subject,

18 feet at a distance,

I feel blessed for instance,

That this country is not bias,

Towards me, death is upon us,

Take a break for a second,

Before we police the world,

Look inward and see the swirls,

Of the sacrificial sacrifices,

That this country needs to make,

Of this reputation we need to shake,

That we really need to take,

Our place as the police of this world.

John Stossel, an expert on this topic, details that world policing is costing America billions and maybe trillions of dollars(1). This money instead of being used to garner support for internal domestic issues, is being used for external foreign issues that are pointless to the development of America as a superpower. 35 Billion dollars was spent on foreign economic aid in 2015 (4).  That 35 billion is being spent on pointless things outside the US. This money could be used to combat institutional racism, police brutality, poor treatment of American Indians, alcoholism, and the infringement of our rights.  This would help our country resolve very important issues, and lead to more money being available to aid the world later.  All of these issues could be combatted, but with this useless money spending outside the US these very important issues cannot be fixed, instead they are being left untamed. 

Alcoholism can lead to many bad times in many people's lives.  The effects of alcoholism can be left on families for generations. As a teenager, I have dealt with alcoholism, from people I know, to family. My experiences with this, lead to opinions on the state of America. The state of America is affected by drug and alcohol abuse. But there are also many other issues that need to be tended to. These issues along with alcoholism should be looked at with a more curious eye, and we should not stop with all of the systems set up now, and create more.  

“Uncle Steve, how much have you had to drink?” I said. 

“Umm, well I’m only two beers drink.” He slurred.

“Are you sure?”

I could tell that he was more than two beers in, he had at least had four or five, plus the one before the game that we stopped in a tavern at the harbor. I could not focus on the game, even though the Cubs were winning, I could not focus on anything, except how I was going to get out of this. 

The family in front of me gave me their number,
"Dear, we see that tonight has not been the best for you." The mother said in her thick southern accent.
"Thanks so much." I detailed in response.
And the guy to my left, let me charge my phone to call my mom.
"Hey, you can borrow this if you want..."
He then handed me a phone charger block.I called my mom telling her that my uncle was really drunk. My dad who was in India called me and then we got cut off. The ushers came down and told me they wanted to kick him out of the game. The game finally ended after he had drank 5 to 6 beers. And the family who gave me their number helped follow me outside. He was so drunk that he couldn't find the car, so I purposefully walked around for an hour and a half until he was semi okay to drive. The family from earlier sent their two kids around and they followed. The police were driving around and stopped us walking around every now and then. 
"Sir, can you stop for a second." 
Over and over this occurred until it was ringing in my head. When I let him find the car, he took my phone because he said it made my parents worry, and then he drove home crazily. He was going 90 on the freeway and was going from line to line. And on the mountain road he did not stop for a dear and kept turning of and on his lights. And I didn't get my phone back until 3:30 in the morning after hearing him and his wife yell all night. I got 51 calls from my mom and 13 calls from my very nice aunt. And I thought it was all over. But with the PTSD and the trauma, is it over?
