Infringements

These are some but there are many Having rights infringed upon Like noisy people before a game When the National Anthem is sung Seated not standing-they laugh-running all about Perhaps they realize not the cost nor care to find it out Or a constitutional citizen who speaks of freedom’s liberty Then cries out loud- as a bleeder- against leadership’s way For when it’s time to turn out- he having never voted to this day Or the thief who sneaks about my home dealing my earned things Once when caught- feels captured remorse -adjusting my college ring Or the school student that stays in trouble almost every day He loudly distracts my poor little Johnny who wants to make all A’s Or the commercialization of consumer products viewed as pretty and fat But when I get home and open it up – it seems empty and flat Infringements all- which spit upon my face- pass me a towel please First-Help me Lord-it’s stuck so deep- to remove my own eye’s beam

The times have changed and I fear not for the better. Well the US is only in it's 20's and hasn't really grown up yet. Do you think it will make it to it's 30's? I enjoyed your poem. Well thought out and well written. TLee

Thanks for your comment Nette. I don't always agree with what others do or say and I'm sure the same applies towards me.
