I Wonder

i wonder
what they do
those who live
oceans away
on that continent
of the american dream

their sources
tell us much
of pop and rock
and daily fast food
the hollywood culture
bimbotic and cut throat

their schools
are they concerned
with only social lives
directionless youths
drugs and immorality
fat, dumb and pretty
in killer cliques

but what
should we know
of such cultures,
but biasedly through
their own influence
of global domination
