Aren'T We

In a dither for a dollar Monies are being squandered The pox is upon us Taxes are ponderous Stuffed shirts are foolish Peace yet eluded us The world gets Denuded. We're living in the space age Can't eliminate war and hate. These hard truths we face We are a better human race. Are'nt We.?

Yes, the times have changed drastically or radically. My uncles fought fought the Nazis. How soon they forget not me. It is a rethoical poem hence the question makk. God bless you and yours, PagieXX. By the by, I agree we are not. Yet the question remind Why aren't we?. Disgusting.

No, we are not a better human race. Almost every country wants a second Holocaust The murder of whole families. The idiots marching here calling for death of Jews? I no longer consider this a fun or safe world. Your poem was about a time that seems very long ago. Part of me died that day, Panagiota
