-I appreciate your note
and poem, jaybird.
-You give many good
examples of the difficult
issues our country and others
are facing.
-It seems they mounted up
in the last few years, more and more
added to what was already a mess.
-But I have confidence we will do
better, and I, too, "feel much hope we
can succeed...It seems we're on the proper track."
-Very well done. Have a great week!!

I agree that America needs to get its act together. I don't think the actions of our leaders are helping unite the country. Now that people are getting vaccinated and fewer new cases of the virus are being reported, maybe we can start getting back to normal. There's been a lot of throwing blame around, too and failure to accept responsibility for what they've done. The schools and churches have suffered during the virus, that's true. I also agree with your thoughts on the border situation and Congress not doing its job. Excellent use of rhyme. Great presentation. judi

Your thoughts on these matters are so well reflected and written in this poem. I am also waiting for much needed change, and we are so near. Hang in there, and stay healthy.

Jay Bird
I agree with of what you said that
Our country is facing many desperate situations and we need to
get our act together- and to me with the question who is going as you said, "We need to
get our act together"

It's not only your country, Jay, it's mine as well. (UK) I don't know what is happening in the world today. When I think of how many years you have lived here on Earth, how many changes you've seen, you have every right to state your opinion of how it is now. You've seen more than most, lived through more than most. I wonder how you feel when you think of the many friends of yours you lost trying to make this world a better place to live in. This is a great poem, my friend. Well done. :)) Sandra xx

These are the problems with all the so-called democracies in the world. They screw up and commit errors after errors. And when they are not able to erase it, they convert them into law. We vote them to power for better governance. And look what we get! Disgusting. I enjoyed your politically charged poem. Thanks for sharing!

i see a trend today.Politcally charged sonnets. in the traditional format but very timely in theme and execution. I like the last stanzas the best

I feel much hope we can succeed,
fulfill all past and future need.
It seems we're on the proper track,
our need is this, never look back.

Our country is in severe trouble! Somehow someone needs to stop Biden and his posse before we are totally screwed. He stopped the wall then invited every tom, dick, and harry to come and we will take care of you! Now they are going to give these immigrants huge stimulus checks! I think one of the worst things that has happened is the riots and the war on police. I God can help us.
Great poem!
Patty
