Attacked From Within

We are literally being attacked from within
Infiltrators in protests tearing up America
The saddest part of all is, it is being allowed
Also justified as some sort of positive movement
So much has been destroyed, day after day
Mobs using intimidation to terrorize Americans
Ruining historic monuments, our flag and veteran’s graves
This is not about race, this is about America
There is a war on police as they’re told to stand down
We watch a one way fight, leaving cities in ruins
Evil empowered is nothing to do with making things better
Our land becomes a war zone, as terrorists gain power
Hiding behind masks and slogans, screaming nasty things
Empowered by every single American who claims this is justified

Caren Krutsinger July 3, 2020 at 5:57 AM "attacked from within" - you have a great pen, my friend. Heidi Sands July 3, 2020 at 10:38 AM Thank you very much Caren :)

Arturo Michael June 26, 2020 at 2:24 PM It's really hard...Law enforcement is a must...to root out the bad weeds in the garden...although it needs to purge out the wicked officers...You've documented your feeling here... Heidi Sands June 26, 2020 at 2:30 PM Exactly. It is hard. Law enforcement is needed and I agree the corrupt officers must be purged and held accountable. Thank you Arturo. It has been nice to see your comments today! Bless you :)

Gershon Wolf June 24, 2020 at 9:49 PM Two very important truths you've penned, (among the others): 1.) This 'fight' has gone way, way beyond a protest against police brutality. 2.) The crazies are all being enabled by the liberal Left, who should be absolutely ashamed of themselves --- but instead think of themselves proudly as the 'real patriots.' All I can say is 'Feh!' AND write on, Heidi!! Thanks, Gershon Heidi Sands June 25, 2020 at 7:50 AM Thank you for your understanding and taking the time to point out the facts you have. I appreciate it Gershon :)

Darlene De Beaulieu June 24, 2020 at 4:58 PM Hello Heidi Is there somone else that would be able to help? Like the army? Would they be able to control the violence? Just wondering. Enjoy your evening my friend. Hugs. Darlene Darlene De Beaulieu June 25, 2020 at 11:53 AM Hello Heidi, I hope this situation will not last all summer. Maybe they will get fed up protesting. Enjoy your day my friend. Heidi Sands June 24, 2020 at 5:03 PM Hi Darlene. Last time I heard, President Trump was leaving it up to the states to handle and the secretary of defense was opposing the military involvement. But, this is a national issue and not only in Democrat states. It is very well organized beyond (the average people protesting). It is concerning as to where this is heading in addition to all that has happened. Thank you. Hugs :)

Tom Cunningham June 24, 2020 at 4:24 PM Enough is enough, they should be given the green light to use extreme and deadly force if necessary. Tom Heidi Sands June 24, 2020 at 4:40 PM This must stop Tom. They must be given a choice to stop or this should be treated as the act of war that it is. A senator was just hurt in a mob where more statues were taken down. It is out of control. Thank you for your comments. I appreciate them very much :)
