Uncle Sam Land MMXXI

America is a Fantasy Park.

The light side’s on the left.
The right side’s in the dark.
The Gates of Hell are in Las Vegas,
tourist destination.
And any city street stands
as a Mecca of Fixation.
In Old Folks Land, they stand in line
whole lives to reach their ends.
And young folks bred to live with toys
will always be best friends.
There’s Money Pits and Drunk Tanks
and an Army of Despair.
There’s places where the Poorest live
in comic disrepair.
Whirlpools of debt and Shafts of Graft
to rival Magic Mountain.
And in the Sheltered Islands,
it’s said there’s a golden fountain.
