I Rememberd

I believed politicians were elected to protect our Constitution
         But I was wrong.

I believed we welcome all immigrants
        But I was wrong.

I believed our Presidents were elected to protect all our citizens
        But I was wrong.

I believed when we work hard all our lives we would retire with dignity
        But I was wrong.

I believed our country was the envy of the world.
        But I was wrong.

I believed our soldiers would be rewarded and treaded like heroes 
        But I was wrong.

I believed our military was to protect us against outside aggression 
        But I was wrong.

I believed the military would never hurt our citizens 
        But I was wrong.

I believed we would never elect a criminal President
        But I was wrong.

I don’t know what to tell my children about our 
beloved country.
