I found the manner in which the poem started with disappointment but ended with hope that successes could be made if we do not dwell in our past. Well said dear Jay, and thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Here-here! I so agree! LOT'S of things to work on...enough that we ought not be working against one another, but turning as one and facing our country's needs head on! Saving our planet, our lives from the pandemic, racial and other divide is not a democrat or republican thing... It surely out to be ALL of us pulling together!--Karenina

Good evening, yes, it's astounding how many urgent issues we are facing as a country these days. Everything seems to be a jumbled mess. I certainly hope we can sort it all out sooner rather than later.
Thanks for sharing. :)

Indeed, we do need to get our act together. I fear for all of us, but I fear even more for my grandchildren and their children. Thank you for sharing this.

It seems the US has come to a crossroads in its present, I suppose that applies to a myriad of places too. The political scene has taken a hit, with most being disappointed and dismayed. As usual a very fine poem my friend, blessings Roy

I agree. We need to take back what has been lost to big gov't and the way some people act trying to destroy what we hold dear. You did a great job with your poem. Everything you mentioned is something that needs attention NOW. You are right about getting our act together to end this downward spiral.
Thanks for sharing.

I like your approach to the current series of disasters in our country - to move forward and "don't look back." All the injustices of the past can bring up so much anger and we need to keep moving forward. Thanks, Jaybird!

Hello Mr Jay
You are right, our democracy and our country is in danger and we must come together. The Republicans of Trump don't want to pass anything but they take credit of all the bills President Biden is passing to help the american people.
Well done.

This is well-stated and so true. It is also refreshing to find that it takes no one side but gives good advice that we need to pull together to solve our problems.
Well done.
Best regards,
Mary

These abab quatrains tells us of the problems we have to overcome today.
We have to much greed, political infighting and racial violence. We also need to take better care of our world. It seems some are at least trying to do some of this.
Keep writing and stay healthy
