Hi, Babs.

Always good to see a free-thinker rather than a melling led by propaganda. Not sure I completely understand if this is a dig at the current administration or past mistakes in general.

Of course, it's never too late to be enlightened and take action - even if by a word that spreads.

Love, ray xx

Despair will eventually turn to triumph I believe, though we are in the darkest slide at the moment. Keep waking us up Ma!

God bless. Nick.

Barb, I agree with you. But unfortunately a solid movement to correct the placid "norm" of today cannot gain any thunder. I dare say poll the seniors of this country...see what they say. LOL...Bob

I believe you may have hit the nail on the head with your comment, or are there that many that just don't see it? I do believe more and more are waking up but perhaps it is too late, but maybe it is not. Prayer, my friend, this country needs to cry out to God for his mercy, that is what he is in search of, that is what it will take for him to intervene. Very well worded.

I liked this poem for only one reason; it flows well. The word choices blend into a musical rhythm that is more poetic than sensible, it seemed to me. But I'm not commenting on the philosophical content, just the poetry.

This poem flowed with just the right punches of indignation and call to arms. Your shaping of the poem really worked in helping me to read it orally with passion...especially the first stanza and the last seven words. Being an old peacenik I have a little problem with the word "combat". It reminds me of "Onward Christian Soldiers". Loved the song but hated the sentiment. mitzi

    Thank you Mitzi. Blessings and Love. Barbara...combat was met in a possitive way here though.

I share your sentiments. The poem is amazing in its format! Its lines fade down, as the words' meanings also get darker and sadder, brilliant. It's a good start, if more of us speak out of our unhappiness. Perhaps someone will listen, someday.
