Don’t fall for it, the ameri-con
The postcard views
Loft apartments, suburban raised ranch
Don’t fall for it, the ameri-con dream
The reckless pursuit of money
Fame, attention, respect
Don’t fall for it, the ameri-con person
The machismo, the bravado
The sex fueled stereotype cacophony
Don’t fall for it, the ameri-con goods
The bed bath and beyond bounties
Hummers and sports cars and hummers in sports cars
Don’t fall for it, the ameri-con
You are not your house
You are not your bank account
You are not television
You are not your khaki pants
You are

Interesting
Well, i like your points, however i find it very interesting with the choice of words. The "ameri-con" was very inventive and the way you strung the verses together proves that you put some deep thought into the poem. I can appreciate where you are going with the poem, even if i don't agree. I like how you used some deep words and chose to use words not used in every day language. All in all, i liked the poem.

Excellent
I like your pun on America. It does seem the American dream is a ruse these days, as the world becomes more and more materialistic, which is well said in your poem. Well said abot the machismo and bravado too, something a lot of people over look, America is basically like a man pushing his weight around.
It reminds me of "Once In A Lifetime" by Talking Heads, which is a great song. Well done, it's good to see people writing about their concern with the world they live in.
