Is It Too Late

it looks like we are coming to blows its been brewing for a long time God knows you don't like me, I don't understand you no matter what you say, no matter what I do looking for a reason to be mad this human race can be so bad the problem is no respect and there is no going back I suspect when is America going to learn are we past the point of no return is it too late to remember what made us great is it too hard to say I love you and you love me too can you lend a hand to your brother man we can be better people we know it we can fix this but wont show it but sadly it is true most people don't want to

It's never too late to change, but everyone needs to put their differences aside and work together. Tom

I agree Tom, the problem with history is it seems to repeat itself. People don't get it.

Hello Timothy … I'd like to think it's never too late, but at this time we appear to be going through a hate and misery state of despair. There's huge pressure on wage earners to supply a bloated public service and the media in a quest for news stir up the public - a poem for today Timothy - Lindsay

You are absolutely right. It is all about money, selling ads and tele time. Even the rioters just want free stuff. It has nothing to do with racism.

Terrific 'thought-provoker,' Timothy... I think that the rift in the country is exacerbated greatly by the media... i.e., it's not too late for the vast majority of us. Were the media to report that which didn't fit its ideological narrative of 'system racism' and/or more positive stories, America would be singing a different tune. People haven't changed that much!! Thanks, Gershon and his one cent's worth

True Gershon, the media wants breaking news stories to sell tv time, Its all about the money, politics and fear of being blacklisted by the media. Who decided it was appropriate to end a persons career and destroy their life for using a racial slur? I think everybody deserves a second chance.
