A Tale of Two Nations

A Tale of Two Nations

Under one flag
with many stars
and even more shame
two nations to choose
Guns or Roses

One opposed to death of children
and free choice for all the women
the other revels in blood and guns
imposing their lack of morals
on us all 

One Nation loves education
the other hates...and hates
banning books and that evil
Mickey mouse
comical if not so disgusting

When you give up your freedoms for security... you'll find you end up with neither.

Many countries have learned you protect people with social programs not guns.

Living in a western nation without guns, I am not sure what you mean, but for sure I can protect and am protected more than say all the children massacred in the USA. Its the only western nation that refutes logic and science. I have never understood people saying you can not change my rights, umm, its an amendment and the reason for such is that in changing times you make amendments. It saddens me a Country the affords more rights to a gun than to a woman.

Dear Arthur, it is sad very sad that even today people are still trying to control others, when will they ever learn that violence amounts to nothing but disaster and heart pain, thank you for speaking volumes with your words and your heart, Loved it. Have a blessed day dear friend :)

I'm sure Arthur, greed and power is behind it all. Every time good seems to be winning, the support is reduced, and again all hell in many different ways is let loose.

Very true Harry, I feel sometime though some ideologies seep into cultures and then is very hard to make changes!

yes it is but like sports teams some are in first place and some are in last place, meaning if we as a society have the desire we can improve!

In the history of the world Arthur there has always been division and darkness, abuse and violence, but there has always been good, hope and love, I pray one day the latter overthrows the demons of Satanic orders, once and for all, thank you for sharing this strong emotional write today, have a good one, raining here in T O :(
