Poem Title:
Poem
Time Wasted Looking at the news nowadays still has me in amazement, oh how fast love and kindness turned into hatred, it's so much easier and helpful to be respectful and courteous to others, I thought this knowledge was basic, but now hard working immigrants are being hauled off to unknown places, it breaks my heart to see the looks on the poor kid's faces, their lives turned upside and families separated, locked up like animals inside of cages, and for what reason? At least give me a basis, but all I get is replies about races and hatred, wow, and the homes these hateful people live in, the immigrants helped build and make it, I guess it's a new era and I have to face it, but it breaks me down and I'm not sure if I'm going to make it, and the constitution is being stripped naked, while half of the elected politicians remain quite and complacent, not wanting to speak out or shame it, but years from now kid's will read historical accounts and ask why we didn't do more to stop or disclaim it, America's popular now, but only for becoming a leading nation in hatred, civil rights violations, and the destruction of the laws that once made it, it's a hard pill to swallow, but everyday I'm forced to face it, our enemies worldwide are enjoying watching us go down in flames like a overloaded ship with propane in it, everyone knows who's the cause but are afraid to put the name with it, the current state of affairs are disheartening and I hate it, the United States of divisional separation and hatred, it just seems counterproductive, like too much time wasted, I'm appalled and ashamed of it
