The Lies a Bumper Sticker Tells...

 

The sign on the church said,
“We have better sundays then
Baskin Robbins”-imagine my
disappointment when I went
in and didn’t get any ice cream…

That bumper sticker told me to
“Honk if you support quiet streets.”
Well everyone else started honking
too...and the streets, they weren’t so
quiet anymore…

That evangelist was on the billboard
informing us to prepare for the Rapture.
So May 21st, I gave away my assets
to those I was sure would be left behind, 
now I’m the one walking the streets wearing
fig leaves…wonder where I’ll be when
the world ends on October 21st?

I’ve been swindled by fabricated advertisements
telling me what's right and what's wrong,
Been bamboozled by their commercialism
that spreads like disease,
but I know one thing-
I am not alone in falling for this deceit…
welcome to America.
