Tired of the secrecy, the backroom deals, the lies,
Tired of them holding petty grudges, whilst criminality is on the rise.
Tired of the average person making life decisions at the gas pump,
Tired of “Eat or fill up“, these damn politicians need a bump!
Tired of the rich getting more breaks than the poor,
Tired of the news turning the populous into angry fools.
Tired of this building up inside of me,
Tired of arguing with myself ‘fight or flee’.
Sleep my nation, sleep the lies away,
Then wake up tomorrow and claim what is yours in any way.
Wake up, tell them the bullshit stops here,
Wake up and let your voice be heard, let it cast away fear,
Wake up America, for the time has come,
Wake up America, its time to clean up our home.
Quite interesting, nice flow wih the words,.
Very good poem.
It's nice.
But why did you choose "Wake up America, its time to clean up our home." as your last line?

She was reiterating her purpose for writing. It was a "pound-it-in-the-idiot's-head" approach. The whole poem is in regards to the shittiness that is America and its constituents (this time, implying every citizen of the US that is either too lazy or too ignorant to do something about the shitty situation we're all in right now).
I don't like to publicly delve into politics, but I did enjoy it and am glad to see you writing again FINALLY.
