Americans by commitment and lifestyle are increasingly burdened
But mostly by their government’s military undertaking, overseas
By such acts (coupled with covert) have become isolated; cordoned
So globally quarantined as if suspected of some feared disease
By some of the extreme measures taken are engaged by extremists
And now live very restricted lives (by all the necessary security)
By lavish living and wanton industries the worst of environmentalists
And whom by grand schemes of Wall street land a troubled economy
They suffer health-care inadequacies and dwindling job-opportunities
And citizen-soldiers called and recalled; jobless, maimed or else dead
An aspect of their reality that disrupts; bereaves entire communities
All against a backdrop of daily schedules that leaves little time for bed
It was this national profile that nudged them to seek new leadership
(Spread so thin)Narrowed to a highlighting of personal sacrifice and costs
Thence to a life-raft marked Obama; abandoning status quo: Mothership
Captained by Mc Cain, first-mate Palin , Republican shipping firm; the lost
Now life continues in open-waters; in unfavourable weather without chart
On a craft yet adrift without known supplies and without any proper shelter
Scanning the horizon in a surviving spirit but with no engine which to start
May have to be just content of being afloat; not duly suffer its over-exposure
