Poem Title:
Poem
Written to my Cousin Madelyn McKay six years ago. She was a poetess here as cancer consumed her body. May my magical and kind cousin ….rest in peace! Maggie . She had sent me an article on how great the 1960’s were! I am glad she is not here to see our civil rights being taken away, the murder of children, and our Congress having people in it, whose allegiances are not to America. God is dead to many, our currecy is marked with these words, “ In God we trust. But He is being repaced by a new religion, “Wokeism”.Dear It was painful to read, for me,anyway. I don't even want to remember fun things anymore! Dearest Cousin Maggie…. We exist in a hellish world, Surrounded by invisible bars. Slapped down at every corner. We are riddled with technology, which many drool over. Not me! Where are the people? Where is such a thing called a voice? Where is love? Where is humanity? The sound of my fingers, tapping on the iPad, smileys, LOL's will never replace being with another.. I am glad I am old, and welcome death. I see no point in living in a world that is ice cold and growing to be a repressive. Communist state. And I do believe at death you see the face of God! How can I not want that.Maggie? An empty on life is a device is bad enough. While my fellow beings do not want to hear their right to live is ending…Far worse. The past! Terribly painful to recall. The punishment for those who speak out now is vast and wide. Love, Cousin Pangie Postscript. Violence is at an all time high. Mass murder goes unpunished and people do not realize, they could be next.They put their fingers in their ears and will swim in pools of positivity to drown out the screams of reality and lies by repressive governments. They forgot who Hitler was. We have many of his evil ilk, in all countries and citizens who think they are adults, hiding and pretending evil does not exist? Good people are jailed in their countries while anarchists, subsidized by our governments… Rule your world and mine. And our precious children’s blood runs in the streets. P.R. Note, This is an opinion piece. Thank you for reading. Poem 1 8/7/2024
