Warning: The author has noted that this contains the highest level of language.
What do I see from where I sit?
My beloved country is going to shit!
I expect the worst to come too soon
Greeted by Biden, our POTUS Buffoon.
 
Inflation is robbing our middle class!
Poor and illegals? We fund their ass.
The rich don’t care. They have shelter.
We in the middle livin’ helter-skelter.
 
Our military is weak, yet extended more
In foreign cess pools. Tell me what for!
Vaccines said to cure what ails us, then
We learn ‘twas a charade to money win.
 
Our economy is based on oil and gas
For planes, trucks, cars; well, kiss my ass!
Now the enviro-nuts preach to plug us in
To wind and sun? Really? The cost & when?
 
Worshiped big PhD smarty-pants thinkers
Will sell us out abroad, un-American stinkers!
Those who we pay to protect our border
Now must follow some “surrender” order.
 
Boys compete as girls? Now, get the chance! 
Has something changed down in our pants?
Illegal drugs kill more of us each day
But a wall is wrong to keep them away?
 
Hey, I’m just an old man who complains,
Wishing his country somehow remains…

 


Writing Prompt
Write a poem about what you see from somewhere you sit. It could be in your home or outside as long as it is true to what you normally do.

Use only your words to describe emotions, feelings, thoughts, observations etc.

The poem can be of any format, any length, but you cannot use any pictures.

Perhaps you like to sit on a park bench everyday, what do you see? How does it make you feel? Is there a history behind it?
From Where I Sit?
