Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Wonder If I Want To Know

My mind is overflowing with thoughts today
What happened to accepting election results?
What happened to integrity and honesty?
What happened to doing the right thing?
What happened to not making fun of the handicapped?
What happened to good sportsmanship?
What happened to the United States of America? 
These thoughts are traveling around in my mind.
I am wondering why there is a shortage of bullets.
Even the hunters cannot get them for their shotguns.
They are gearing up my sister says; she is all about guns.
Gearing up for what I ask.
I wonder if I want to know.
Probably not.

Andrea Dietrich January 4, 2021 at 2:41 PM Definitely "they" are gearing up. Hang on to any guns you might have, dearie!!! Caren Krutsinger January 5, 2021 at 6:34 AM I don't have any though. I don't believe in them.

Sand Blown January 4, 2021 at 5:21 AM ...the u.s. two party 'us against them' system is not very advanced people's system.......stan sand Caren Krutsinger January 5, 2021 at 6:35 AM It is crazy. I think we need a committee instead of a president unless we are going to go by Popular Vote. This Electoral College replacement is long overdue.

Mahtab Bangalee January 4, 2021 at 2:30 AM it's wonderful knowing everything, it's wonderful knowing nothing; it's as usual if there is the power of understanding Caren Krutsinger January 5, 2021 at 6:35 AM Thank you Mahtab. I appreciate it.
