Can America Survive?

Today I awoke with a foreboding and a heavy heart. A contest of good and evil has torn my world apart. I never even imagined that evil would rule the day. My faith was greatly shaken in a most disturbing way. What began with joy and promise quickly turned to grief. Roughly half the country cried in disbelief. A cult of hate and selfishness found a way to win, By lying and blaming others for a nation's sin. It's the same dangerous playbook employed by madmen in the past: One man delivers the soliloquy and silences the cast. I never thought my country could ever stoop so low. Liberty is hiding her face with no freedom to bestow. So, throw away all Illegals and close our borders tight. We don't need friends and neighbors to stoke our country's might. Once a beacon of freedom but soon to go it alone; Our new slogan is 'America First' so World you're on your own. Janece Terry November 6, 2024

Added to my favorite poem list. We are all devastated. But I think God is up to something.

Oof, this took the wind out of me. So incredibly eloquent and apt, it’s as bad and worse every day since inauguration than you feared. xomo

Very powerful poetry, loved it, just a side note, food for thought, both sides supported genocide, and what is not being talked about is all the people who would have voted democrat, who morally could not, a very sad state of affairs. :(

Wonderfully expressed, Jan! I am still reeling and don’t know how we’ll get through the next 4 years. Truly disheartening…
