America, My America

A poem about what has happened to America

America, My America
Where has your beauty gone?
Where are your natural wonders,
and your scenic beauty now?

Are they deeply buried now,
beneath the asphalt, steel and glass?
Has your beauty been replaced by mounds of trash?

America, My America
Only a fool can not see
just what we, mankind, have done
with all of our greed.

America, My America
Where has all your beauty gone?
Where are your natural wonders,
and all your scenic beauty now?
