Bitter, who's Bitter?

Recently the term bitter has brought about much conversation in America and as expected, nobody wants to see American as being bitter. The opposite of bitter for me has always been sweet. If I’m not sweet on a thing then I must be bitter about it or some where in between.  Given that in between often means a position of indecisiveness, lets assume that people are either for or against, sweet or bitter. If we are not bitter about the things that are going on in America does this therefore mean that we are sweet on the suffering that we now endure?

 

Bitter, Who’s Bitter?

Bitter, Who’s Bitter? Not me the great U.S.A

I may be frustrated, disturbed and somewhat dismay

Though I’ve been slow to react, I know that there is

Too many guns and shootings in malls and colleges

Economy is bad and now out of sync

Rising food cost seems faster than I could blink

War seems endless and now trillions of money

Health care as disastrous as homeland insecurity

Oil hikes threaten the very things we use

Soaring gasoline prices now determine the trips we choose

Battered civil liberties stops our charity to give

Infrastructural failings destroy where we live

Torture is questionable and many say go ahead

Terrorists deserve inhumanity and are better dead

Even though my actions are rebellious and may sometimes be

Repulsive in conduct, I’m never bitter to anybody
