Messes and secrets
They're all covered up with lies.
They'll do anything
So it won't reach citizen eyes.
They sugarcoat the truth
And tell us what is right.
They brain wash us all
So back we won't fight.
Of course, the human government
Will never be a perfection.
Just look at Chaves and Castro
Filling their nation with infection.
Look at the world around you
My, what a shame!
East to West, North to South
We're all to blame.
The nations are falling and falling
Hitting rokc bottom fast.
Their' leaders having no care
For the present, future, or past.

Just Amazing.
This is a very profound write. I am amazed by the maturity of your writing, not so much that you are aware of the goings on in the world but the fact that you express yourself very well about them. Just when I thought our young people were interested in partying and about whom said what about whom on MySpace, you have proved me wrong and the future just became a little bit brighter! Keep writing Poet...

Confused
It seems a strange way to fill a nation with infection
by establishing a free health service as Castro
has in Cuba not to mention free education
AleE is right though about being brain washed he certainly is.As far as Chavez is concerned the American Government has spent millions of dollars in
a failed attempt to oust him and his twice freely
elected government so much for spreading Democracy
and the rule of law.In saying that human government will never be perfection is he suggesting that the American government is perfect they don't just spread
infection they have spread the mass murder of
thousands of Iraqi civilians including children

Wow, this poem is really amazing! I love the message, it's so true! And the rhyming flowed really naturally. The last stanza needs proofreading though, there are some mistakes. But other than that, this is a great poem!
