Accidental Knowledge

USA! USA! Number 1 in deaths by bullets!
USA! USA! Number 1 in murder by police!
USA! USA! Number 1 in torture by solitary confinement!
USA! USA! Mediocre and inferior in important areas such as schooling and infant mortality and livable wages and the Golden Rule.
Yay! Yay! USA!

If wishes made you President, what statesman-like thing would you say?
Blah, blah, blah.

The U.N. says 15-30 days; the U.S. says 15-30 years.
It's about the 100,000+ in solitary confinement. It's about tears.
But 100,000+ is a low estimate.
And our specialness might take a hit.
It's about a war on solitary's religious services. Have some more beers.

An occidental pol hedge
And his incidental moll wedge
Betted and lied
Sweated and cried
In their hopeless struggle against accidental knowledge.
