Excellent Concern for our country and my attempt to help I Am Worried and Empathetic by HarryT 'I Am' Poem Contest contest entry

I am worried and empathetic I wonder about the state our democracy I hear the tirades of our president and his defenders I see hungry children in cages under aluminum sheets I want my words to make a difference I am worried and empathetic I pretend to be a political pundit as I write I feel I can change thinking by sending letters to the editor I touch, I pray, the better angels of some people I am concerned about our children, their children, our country, and the earth I cry in my heart for those who seek a better life and are denied I am worried and empathetic I understand I must not be silent I say we, as a people, must respect each other and work together again I dream the divisiveness that reigns in our country will dissolve I try to be a good parent by teaching my children kindness by example I hope we, one day, we'll have a peaceful, caring country again I am worried and empathetic
