It Matters If Nothing Is Done

I'm still in tears as John Kerry speaks No such speech Has affected me this way Last night I wondered How frozen we were But now I have resolve That we must fight this evil Go it alone I know the world will follow World war is a risk But it's a sacrifice we must make I cannot put into words Except to say how proudly I am of my country to unite For right and not be afraid While everyone else is running To me the speech was poetic Like many other war speeches But this speech was to me It's my vote And these are my words that stand Behind them It's ashame the president Couldn't give the speech himself

Sorry have not posted or made comments for a long time;. Seems the grand kids are keeping us busy. All political speeches are glitter without the gold. Nicely done. love phyl

† As A Mere Man Fragile It Is Easy To Fall Into This Web Of Worldly Affairs Let Alone The Vast Spectrum Called, Sin, Dear Precious John ˜ Yet Being A Hopeful's Child In 'Light,' One Always Returns Unto The Book Of Timothy; Amongst Many Other Beacons Be Verse We Must Add ? A Soldier Within A War Which Holds, No Flesh * Let The Dead Bury Their Dead Or Shall We Say Address ? Lessons Learned And We Have A Much Greater Moment Afore Our Eyes ˜ What Shall Be Shall Be As All Things Are In, 'Our Heavenly Holy Father's, Hands.' ˜ Love, John

I agree I like the title of this poem but politics to me is all the same,,,,,,not everything that glitters is gold. Everyone talks a good talk & both opposites are exactly on the same team!! Lovely write:) thanks, 4 sharing...Cherie
