Interesting. I haven't seen any poems of this genre on Allpoetry yet (although I certainly do need to do more searching, I guess!). It's interesting to see how you feel. I have one question though: this poem makes me wonder: do you think Americans are becoming eliteists (people who find all others as lower than themseves)? Or do you just think the govt. is abusing its poewe?
