Corruption

Our country cannot survive this corruption. We are losing law and order before our eyes. We must not give in or decide to condone it. We set ourselves up for a fall from within. But we can still unite to take a peaceful stand. To say, we the people will not live this way anymore. It is not impossible, for strength is with those Who are willing to try, willing to do what is right. I am not talking about the vote, They keep saying, we have no excuse not to do. This is not support for either candidate today. It is about we the people who must come together Refuse this corruption with justice ignited by millions In peaceful assembly for our country to find our way. Heidi Sands

Your poem carries so much truth with it. And the comment below by Victor is eye opening. Our country is on the brink of collapse I feel, but somewhere inside of me says it will never collapse because her people will never give up trying. As long as we try to be the bet we can be, only good can come from that...right? (I'm trying to convince myself) :) Really nicely written Heidi.
