This poem was from the point of view of a traveler missing their homeland. The way America is described, it seems obnoxious although there is a place in her heart for it. The poem uses humor as a main device to connect to those who share the same homeland.
The humor used seems to make fun of America. It seems uneducated and fascinated by music and cars. By using the Bible as an example it hits hard to Americans reading this, ecspeacially those of the conservative party. This uses a southern approach to a translation of the Bible. Using the words, "wake up, dude" to rise Lazarus from the dead, instead of somthing a bit more sophisticated for the one most citizens follow. Those with an open mind really follow this poem because it really questions the American way, though if we are gone too long, we begin to miss it.
While reading this poem I had an ah-ha! moment. The fact we as Americans are crazy folk, and we don't understand why other people look down on us! Have you ever listened to a British person try and immitate an American? We sound pretty stupid. But thats the thing. We just don't care. We love it here and wouldn't have it any other way. Murica'!
