Today's state of affairs in the US

A chapter in the book Things I Think about

Change of Life

by pome lover

Our life now, is not the life We had a few short months ago. Our country, then, a great success, Has turned into a giant mess: Our open border is a fright Our People's House is boarded tight Our kids have lost a year at school Our government has no Golden Rule. China laughs because they know That Big Tech really runs the show Meanwhile, behind the scenes, The Swamp Of Never-Trumpers scheme and romp. While those of us in this great land Who twice elected a smart man Are censored every which "away" In much of what we do and say. Social media often does Cancel what we say because They can, and no one does a thing About it--anarchy is king. The news folk pamper sleepy Joe And cover up his gaffs and so To compensate they fall back on Their favorite "racist lexicon." And here's the sickest thing of all-- Americans causing our downfall! Americans who have the best-- Don't value it, they just protest. Some things I laugh at, when alone That strike my (weird, but) funny bone; I also cry in dark of night So many things are just not right. Of friends and family there's no doubt They're what my life is all about, We try to keep each other strong - Not think of all the things gone wrong. So, hopefully, this month-long tome Of musings by this member, Pome, Will resonate with some who'll say That they agree with me. Hooray! I must add here, that there ARE some, Who've wished me well, at least, thus far, And so, I carry on in hopes That my next words will raise the bar. Or, at least not irritate Which would mean I've gone too far, However, some things must be said; So, I will hope for even par.
