Comment from Dolly'sPoems
America is walking along a dangerous path and could become very similar to Russia and I fear for its future as Britain have always been allied with the US. A new leader with some good core values is needed here and if respect is not gained, there could be a revolution. The fact is that the US rely on the wealth of the rich and in turn they should be looking after their interests otherwise they will flee the country and leave America in a poor state with no wealth at all. The Biden administration has harmed the country and the sooner he goes the better. Good luck and your write is powerful and it all had to be said, love Dolly x

Thank you so much Dolly, I know I might have been a little over the top with my view of where our country is at, but the prompt said to not hold back and I always try to follow the rules. hehe! I really thought that I would have some opposition on this piece, but I think everyone is as fed up and worried about the future of our country since Biden took over. I boycotted the news a couple years ago, because I can't even stand to see his face or listen to his voice, or hear the negativity of other stuff going on in the world. Thank you so much for your lovely review and your very kind comments my friend.
Comment from lyenochka
I do agree that our country (and all countries) should be turning to the Lord. God doesn't favor any one country as we all should be on HIS side not our own. But there have been many crazy things that have been going on and the evil one has been attacking all countries and turning people to worship idols (like leaders) and believing in political analysts instead of Him. It's divided our churches and families and that has been the worst thing. Best wishes in the contest!
Capitalization Suggestions:
my dad in World war ll (War)
God once Blessed America dearly (blessed)

I think that is the hardest thing is to see some churches bending for the sin, instead of the sin bending for the church and the Lord. In our local hospital, there is a woman preacher, but she is a lesbian. And not my place to judge but isn't that kind of peculiar? Thanks so much for the feedback as I always appreciate it. So I shouldn't capitalize blessed. I guess I always do because it's something we get from God, but thank you so much!

If "Blessed America" is a proper name, then capitalize it. But here it sounded more like a verb, in that God blessed the country, so then you wouldn't capitalize it. Sorry to hear about the problems at the hospital. God knows her heart and whether she really loves Him. There are/have been famous pastors who were adulterers and never repented. All sin is offensive to God.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
Every word you have written rings the truth. This would be similar to what I would have written. However, I did not want to write about America. Things are not the same as you and I know. You have written for me. It is a shame what we are facing. Thank you for the great post.

Wow Carolyn, how sweet of you! This was kind of a scary piece for me, but I feel so strongly about my feelings, that it's hard to hold back. I have never come so close to hate in my entire life (except being molested and then rape later on) but that was years ago and I have had to pray hard cause I can't even handle the sound of Biden's voice or his face. I think I better pray harder. Thank you my friend for your very kind words.

You are welcome.
Comment from Tina Crute
I am glad to see you not holding back, as we should be allowed to use our freedom of speech. I happen to agree with you, but even if I didn't, I would respect your ability to put all this in a rhyme. You tell a story, albeit a sad one, of a great country being ruined. Your ending of the poem is genius and I pray for that too, that our grandkids have the same chance we did.
Well done!

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
This is a terrific writing prompt entry, you definitely put your opinions out there.
This is a white hot topic that is controversial and provocative.
I appreciate your presentation.
Your rhymes work well without force and create a cadence that bounces like a rubber ball.
Your openness is valued.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much Kitty! That truly means a lot to me. Especially since this is about the only subject that can get me riled, but they said in the prompt, not to hold anything back, so I listened., haha!
Comment from SLMorrical
A wonderful entry for the writing prompt. This hits home for many Americans. It is a wonderful caption of toady's societal and political issues. I agree with the writer being proud of the flag and our country is something not often seen anymore. This definitely calls to me and I feel it says what I would like to say. This is very well written and easy to follow. Well done.

Whoa! What a priviledge to have such a timely and fresh read as this. Very prophetic in nature and true. What courage and strength to contend for faith with such powerful and bold statements.

Oh thank you so much Tiara. Since I just posted, I held my breath as I wasn't sure what to expect from my first review. There are few things that I feel this strongly about, but they all came out in this poem. Thank you for your kind review and words! And I must say that I love your name!
