Perspective

We are the United States of America, we rule the land, air and sea. Our Stars and Stripes will wave forever, there is no other place I’d rather be. We have been let down and lied to, it’s just politics, it’s nothing new. I won’t ever give up on my country, I’ll always be loyal to the Red, White and Blue. Equal rights, and the pursuit of happiness for all, these are some things we need to enforce. We hail from all over the globe, you’ll never knock us off of our course. I will pay for each gallon of gas, to complain, there is no need. We have all fallen on hard times, but our seat’s still good and our nose won’t bleed.

Oh what price for freedom Mark, if Biden is doing one good thing, it’s keeping Trump out of power, you certainly put the Gas hike into perspective, and of course putting the potent US military in it’s rightful place at the top, the envy of the world, powerful penning, cheers David

Thanks David, I agree. Anyone who blocks trump can’t be all bad.

Amen AMEN, Mark. I agree wholeheartedly. I think of those folks who will use gas waiting in line to buy a Starbucks at $5.00 a cup and gripe about gas prices. What does a gallon of Starbuck's cost? Only in America! I love my country and I found your poem delightful.

Thanks Milt, I appreciate your support my friend! I don’t mind paying more as long as I can still breathe and enjoy life.

Well said Mark, rising prices are affecting everyone so we're all in the same boat. In time things will settle down and hopefully things get better for us all. It doesn't help that mongrel in the Kremlin is causing conflict, we won't go hungry but poorer countries will be on the verge of starvation. United Nations are a joke. Tom

Not at all Mark, I have the greatest respect for Joe Biden.

I agree, Putin needs to be shut down. I’m pretty sure it’s not Biden’s fault that the entire planet has high prices right now. Cheers my friend!

I know increased prices for food, gas... everything puts a strain on most of us but compared to the way so many others across the globe have to live, we are fortunate. Thanks for the reminder that we have so much for which we should be grateful, Mark.

At least we have food and five dollar gas. Think of countries like Ukraine, they would be happy to have our problems. Thanks Jenna!
