Does Anyone Care

To arrogantly use your words for knives Foolishly repeating all that one hears Spewing vitriol comments that hurt lives Displaying high drama and made-up fears Poems of inspirational prayers are penned Proclaiming bountiful power of God Assuring forgiveness for all who've sinned Appear to border pretentious and odd Many wrote of caring for yourself first Want abortions to be medical care Shame those wanting America put first... Called self-centered and how could they dare? Those who should be ashamed go on and on With rudeness and spite not seeing the tears Or members with deep country love now gone... Your disappointed and bewildered peers

Powerful well written. I feel you anger and pain. I feel it too. Most people are lost in themselves and care little for others.

Aww thank you! That is so true. Until it affects them, it's just not all that important and they go along with whatever they hear the most. Thanks for reading and the encouraging comment. :)

Great poem, Susan. Some still care. Your poem is heard loud and clear. We will not give up the fight for a 'sustained and free America'.

I don't know the truth from fiction any more, Susan. I think both sides are getting so carried away.We are a nation struggling to even get along!! thanks for visiting my poems today.

Susan, it seems we have many who profess to lead that spend their time "making snowballs for others to throw". Nicely written.

Three sides to every story, John. Theirs, ours, and the real story. Lots of snowballs flying around.

I see a lot of good being done, improvement. Haters will always hate.

Powerfully penned Susan, I see many poems written about the state of the US and The President on a daily basis, I guess emotions just run high. Hugs Jan xx

Thanks. Yes I see derogatory poems, not about the state of, but spreading propaganda and their perception of the state of, promoting hate and hypocrisy. Never about anything good or about anything accomplished. Bullying is not how more than half of the nation wants to live.
