America---Trashed

Speak thee softly, of my countrymen. Who gave their lives, their blood. To launch this very great and noble land. Neither you nor I, could do that task! America is under siege from within. Ah, indeed, most vociferously from without. I do not understand the poison quills, that wish us dead! Envy, lame propaganda never stops! In endless hatred, one TV channel romps. Whipped to a frenzy, so vainglorious, wishing death to all of us? To live in freedom, ah yes, attacked are we, surreptitiously. Nations taught the most vile form of American history. Of those who built this nation vast. They chortle in corners, praying that America will never last. We have forces, also within, who think this country was built on sin. Yet...when nations are in warfare or in physical need, they demand our monies, our military, post haste, indeed! Then, accuse us...of living in greed? Cheering the destruction on, as if at a FIFA soccer game? I say shame, and again shame! Enemies without and within, with poor knowledge of our history. Some taught by teachers with an Anti- American agenda! Like Mao, on a long,weekend benda! So many countries represented at the Soup. Only one nation and its leader daily is constantly derided. America is forever shamed. Please abstain from this hideous game. But, we Americans are not taught to wish harm to any nation. This heart finds insulting, the USA is a painful and peculiar situation. Some....even write poetry celebrating many of our leaders' assassinations? Develop a blog, then,for America haters! Best that, than falling across poetry, that leaves me stunned. Poem after poem of hate, not love. Americans are humans, don't you get it? We don't live in mansions at all. See the Hollywood crowd or doping musicians in the smoke filled halls. I realize all the paid for turmoil here. Like a disease now in all of this world. Fanned to a fiery further by those nutty media squirrels. But to blame America for all past and present sins is assuredly most   profoundly, quite absurd! Political correctness here has gone awry and amuck. Best movies now banned, thanks to fascist dopes. Who love movies about sex, drugs and most importantly, killing babies and no hope. Movies not about heroines or heros! But ones who constantly play victim. Yet sadly are more ferocious than Nero! All police shows removed from the air, leftist lunacy schooled. Even Paw Patol, a cartoon for children with sweet dogs as police. American liberals~ your mind has been truly, totally fleeced! "Tis almost midnight in the land of the most chastised and worse, burning in lockdown, under lock and key. Californians who once displayed old glory as the day begins.... Be forewarned, hired arsonists are burning homes like yours as the planet spins. We live in fear, we Americans! In word, in deed, we are fully awake. Sitting like silent, wooden ducks for those who wish our lives to take... Why? We honored the flag, and of course, law and order. Which is now considered a patriotic disorder!                 June 12,2020                     7am PST                 Poem # 1235

Hi Panagiota; I think if it was just about different Ideologies it would be easier to come together and solve. This is about raw power...people willing to anything to seize control of a nation that few of them have worked to build. I think we are dealing with a handful of American haters and many bought and paid for mercenaries. I think the previous administration laid the basis for this revolution just in case they were voted out of power, actually even importing terrorists. Just my opinion.

Hey Joe! Great to see you. I cannot tell you how alone I feel here at PS, when taking a stand for my country. It's like talking to myself in an empty closet or am I at Antifa University? If you watch OAN, you know these are paid for agitators. I am now thinking mayors and Congresspersons also in league with those out to crush the USA. Statues knocked over, killing police who come in all colors and both sexes. Extortionists mobs in Seattle?Hey~the Mafia look like sissies. Mob rule is primitive.Terrorists are now our own people,who will not work but shake us down to our last cent. Deface anything of honor. The UK is getting hit hard, too. Soros and company. Thanks Joe..PR. Xo

Hello Darlene, most people, poets or not, know this is evil and must end. Others hate controls or police and love anarchy.they want abolition of all countries and leaders. Good luck to their madness, wonder what they eat? Hate seeds for all meals? -)) God sees all these shenanigans! Love, Panagiota xoxo

One more thing to say. They seem to think attacking all police for this or killing innocent officers will make up for what happened by one? This is Revenge, not Justice. My best friend was a LT. who was killed, fighting for justice re: corrupt police. I suppose they would have nothing to say about that.

Sorry about your friend! Condolences! All police are bad to them. Police forces are no longer all white. Don't the dummies know that? Answer ~ No. There are not enough jails to house all the criminals. A CA policeman was lkilled today. Dial an Anarchist if you need help? These so called grown ups much be watching Channel Despicable for news. I think there should be no cameras at all. They are bored ignoramuses wanting to be famous by destruction. If not the police, destroy our history! Statues? And the Democrats pander and support criminals? Yes, they need votes from them...PR xo PR xo

I agree with Tom , this is very powerful. I am too so disturbed by all that is happening to our country. We are certainly attacked from within and it goes beyond the race card spin. I have not been able to write anything, I am blocked. It seems my muse is consumed with what is happening and will only write about this. I am saddened beyond belief at the hatred and now fear that we live in. Well done Panagiota. They are coming here the 14th. Stay safe :)

If we forget the past we are bound to repeat it. In a world where information is instantaneous we often get a skewed look at what really is going on... snippet here and there...things taken out of context...the world has gone viral and it's not because of Covid

Instant Lies! Right on, TS! And people believe it. Not all...some do due diligence...I know Chicago has their hands full. No city is safe anymore. Taking away the police is calling for full out anarchy. Plus no weapon to protect home and family? Women having sex online to make Money while fascist governors use the virus as an excuse to keep businesses shut down. Disgraceful. Love your last sentence...perfect. PRxo

The civilised world is under attack from terrorists and enemies within hell bent on anarchy. Our world today is full of hate, evil and greed. Powerful verse Panagiota, it had to be said. Tom

You know I was hesitant to post this. I know good people are keeping their mouths shut or their quills silent. What a shame. This is a chance to speak out. Two protests in my small city this weekend. Come on down,,the National Guard is ready for those lame destructionists. Thanks, Tom
