A Picture of America, June,2020

Now, more akin to the Wild West!
Good folks, are you up to the test?


Letting anarchists taking over cities?
The mayor and police chief supporting
them, really a pity!


An honest person we rue for owning a 
gun for protection?
Really, come out of hiding, do you verily 
support Seattle's insurrection?


Not a peep from the gun control crowd
now?
Is it only to anarchists to whom you
kowtow?


What if this happened in every town?
We'd be like Iraq, run by gun control 
clowns!


Seattle's innocent have to run for 
their lives.
Business owners filled with strife.


See, they had no guns, thanks to 
your righteous stance.
And now whole families and 
businesses listen to anarchists' daily 
rants!


I am under no illusion this could happen 
in my city.
Good people cannot speak out or buy a 
gun, an American pity.

I am fed up with that noxious word, 
"conversation."
Anarchist's threaten and burn down 
entire cities, above all, police stations.

They fully know action is better than
insipid words.
Some, like me, wonder if any American
knows the right to own a gun legally is 
in the American Constitution.

What's next? Take away our right to
worship God?
Oh, excuse me, it's already been done
by some governors, out of control clods. 

Hiding, not so ingeniously under the 
cloak of a pandemic.
Forcing us to lockdowns, masks, gloves, 
I think are mentally, totally,toxemic!

Hello Panagiota … what I keep myself is, once this pandemic has completely subsided, how much freedom is going to be handed back to the people. If little, then we will be ruled by law that we have fought wars to prevent. Money speaks Panagiota - Lindsay

This pandemic, 'so called' has killed far less than the H1N1 Virus. If they ever tested for that, good Lord! It would outdo COVid. We are as squeamish, terrified, Bunnies~ thanks to the political motivations behind this. Causing unrest, finger pointing to a disgusting degree. ARG! And most and disgustingly, a way to scare the hell out of people. Those loser leaders, TV hoaxsters and billions raked in by mask maskers sanitizersrs, unproven vaccines,etc.! Lindsay, like the flu, this is never going away. Money cannot crush truth. I hope people see the only pandemic is fear, cannot use the term I want to use. I am submitting to mo powers~ others with no moral backbone will be led by the nose! Remind people they are Free, my friend. Mask laws are not enforced here. The Constituion reigns Supreme before impotent governors wielding big sticks. Veritable bullies. Boo! Panagiota.

Very true and so relevant to the world we live in today. It seems that we may be heading towards the Tribulation spoken of in Matthew chapter 24 and the book of Revelation.

Some won't read Revelations on the grounds we cannot understand it. Ludicrous! I have heard it explained by minister's more than once, it is part of the Bible. No need to run from it. ))) PR gracias!

Just my thoughts, Darlene! Others think living locked up and rioting are groovy things. I only have one mind. I can only be me. I listen to the windbags on TV, OMG. I'd rather die, than be paid to lie. Prostitutes are better than lying newscasters and zany governors. All countries deserve freedom. Panagiota xo thank you,

Way to lay the hammer down Panagiota, but don't forget to write about butterflies and trees..they're important to. Anthony

Indeed Anthony. You are more than welcome to visit My Poetry,nearing 1300 which covers topics other than this...belly dancing, sex, nature, kids.., etc Most poets avoid this topic which has more weight than a monarch butterfly, our future is at stake. In fact they avoid it like the plague.)) pR

You see the wheels off as I do. Sorry to say, the rest of the world thinks it's cool? They have their heads under a pillow. PRxxxx
