Monday Morning

We put up no fight, we started no war.
We let out a little squeek, definitely not a roar.
Lulled, to sleep, by decades, of evening news,
Liking what we liked, loving what we'd lose.

We stared into phones, as they dismantled our world.
We saluted our flag, but theirs, was unfurled .
Talking about greatness we knew nothing of,
These new masters, took it all, without a shove..

This poem makes me fear for the future. That’s what happens when you grow complacent and don’t fight back. Reminds me of what could have happened in ww2 without a Churchill. A poem with a warning DM.

Hi Chris, it's kind of dark but I think the message needs to be put out there. In the states everyone is so caught up in the 2 party bickering, and blocking each other on Facebook, to even notice our freedoms disappearing. Out politicians fill the airwaves with their ignorant conclusions about how old a boy has to be to cut his dick off, or under what circumstances a man can use a ladies restroom. It's so ludicrous to be funny, but it's all very calculated subterfuge. Behind closed doors they are closing national parks, pouring millions of barrels of ??? Into the sky for a reason unknown, denying that, denying life on other systems in the universe, trying to come up with new angles to disarm the public. The real embarrassment in the so called insurrection, is that we all didn't show up. And I most definitely am not a Trump supporter, I believe that I stand as close to the center of our politics as possible. What we have are the offspring of thieves, who stole our future, stealing every little crumb they can find, while America sits, Staring at phones, into a world that is make believe. That, the masses, have fallen for this troubles me. Have a great day, I'm snowed in.

We have a two party system over here. It needs to end. They are both tarred with the same brush. Strokes of useless:)
