Lessons Learned from the Tennessee Valley

Spoiled have we become!?
When you look back from whence, we have begun,
the provision of profit to our young,
that sheltered them from hard work, and supplied them with ample fun,
have we spoiled our generations to come, only to be left undone?

The Tennessee Valley in the forties, 
provided generations of poverty,
the aftermath of early settlers’ natural resources robbery,
became the next era of agricultural drudgery,
by an unfertile land with little to no productivity.

Then came a movement of cooperation,
with scientists, engineers, and leadership industrialization,
sparked with imagination, and a love for civilization,
built dams, upon dams, to prevent topsoil loss devastation,
and through education, began a slow restoration.

And now… what now… nearly seventy-five years later,
what is our national social, yearning for advancement, a social unrest agitator?
Is it math and science, food and faith, or security against a totalitarian global hater?
Or is it a confused and spoiled lot, who are experts of slogans, poisoned by social media traitors?
Why did we trade a hoe in hand, for a drag perched on a stand… to become a morality translator?

Time will show, once again, a land of infertility,
with no children from barren modern “families.”
We need new leaders to build a new dam, a damn against immorality.
Take heed, and learn from the Tennessee Valley.
We must return to hard labor and reverence for His Majesty.

I tell you the truth… and you better listen without hesitation, nor reservation,
of what is our salvation, resist wicked temptations, before death and starvation… 
becomes our destiny!
