Young America (Free verse) by Wulf
You are young, America
brutal in your desire
Those whom assign and divide
are themselves destined to be divided
I find myself in the wander of your lust
obsession to owning
makers of fences and dams
pickpockets of nation
Your Children's graffiti
wears itself on bombs
Always you will be
a mother of poets
You are young, America
with your proud prisons
marching cowboys
victories of vengeance
Must we claim your hypocrisy
some little bit large as our own
your vast colony of mutts
complicit in the mist of contrived rivalry
Ironic as the beast comes to own
the least part of itself
as in any war the body
claims cancer to its breast
You are young, America
the tinsel breath of your youth
and vitality to all ways remain so
precursor of death, self condemnation
Our Children march to your events
high sport and war games
imbedded truths of your slick media
premature as death to rebels
Your mirror eyes capture
those whom choose an other path
place them quick in five by seven cells
rotting warehouse, camp
You are young, America
we have loved you well
and the prostitute you have all ways been
kissing bullets into our brain

"those whom choose an other path" "an" could 'the'.
"and the prostitute you have all ways been" 'always' would work better. Although. I do think that was a rather creative way of saying it also.
