My Neighbor

See- this is one of the problems of living in such a individualistic culture (as America clearly is- that is- people are out to serve themselves and as a result there isnt as high an emphasis on family). Places with more collectivistic cultures, like China, don't have this kind of problem as often. So.. to all US flag wavers: there is one thing we don't have.

The poem is good, I think, because it asks the quesiton that made me think about the pondering above. And i'm sure it will make other people think of other things. People need to quesiton why people alllow things like this to happen, and what the implications of it are. Sad.
