It Is Not Happening By Chance

Rip down the statues Rename the streets Police the language Label it hate speech Burn down the cities In peaceful protest Justice is racist Thus, civil unrest No longer about Seats on the bus A bus itself Is labeled unjust Envy a sin Yet the very basis Of a pernicious movement Mislabeled social justice True justice is blind Social justice sees Skin tone blamed For all disparity Media propogandist Mix up the facts Left is right Right is wrong Gaslighting Americans With their fake news Giving demonic takes Editing out truth Hate your enemy Get up in their face Resist reality Let ideology replace Tragedy in the schools Fools blame it on tools Deceived bunch of souls Who forget man reaps what he sows How it all ends Is known in advance Simply have faith Knowing it doesn’t happen by chance

Your words resonate the truth! The truth that prevails and it is not a pretty picture for America! You have penned a perfect image of the decline of what was once a Great America. :)Paulette

Seems to me that you have been looking, or trying to look, at The Big Picture. Individually your snippets are merely that, but when you add it up something begins to emerge and if one looks hard enough that something is…The Big Picture. Not everyone can or will see it so kudos on your eyesight. Awesome thought provoking poem. John

Feels like a cone of confusion lies over the nation sometimes…

Perfect penning, Kenneth. After all is said and done, God is calling the shots. This is a big FAVE for me. Bullseye! ~ Gershon
