Susan Gentry Poet Rhyme

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

Timothy Mcguire August 13, 2018 at 10:37 PM Powerful well written. I feel you anger and pain. I feel it too. Most people are lost in themselves and care little for others. Susan Gentry August 14, 2018 at 2:34 PM 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. :)

Curtis Johnson August 11, 2018 at 12:04 PM 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'. Susan Gentry August 11, 2018 at 11:44 PM So good to know. I have hope for the USA.

Andrea Dietrich August 7, 2018 at 5:25 PM 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.

Gershon Wolf August 3, 2018 at 4:37 PM Sage words, Susan. ... Americans need to 'dial it down,' way down! ~ Gershon Susan Gentry August 5, 2018 at 6:23 AM Thanks.

John Lawless July 30, 2018 at 9:25 AM Susan, it seems we have many who profess to lead that spend their time "making snowballs for others to throw". Nicely written. Susan Gentry July 30, 2018 at 2:34 PM Three sides to every story, John. Theirs, ours, and the real story. Lots of snowballs flying around.

Tom Cunningham July 30, 2018 at 7:36 AM A sad state of affairs Susan, it seems mankind does not care anymore, you see it everywhere. Tom Susan Gentry July 30, 2018 at 2:31 PM I see a lot of good being done, improvement. Haters will always hate.

Jan Allison July 30, 2018 at 4:48 AM 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 Susan Gentry July 30, 2018 at 2:20 PM 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.
