Lost Country

Our country is lost and sadly many have taken a road to no-where
It is heartbreaking to watch and easy to feel powerless
But, we can still reach out to whoever who will listen
We can keep speaking truth and act positive with inner strength
Our country is lost, as multiple heavy issues pile up on us
People walk around in a daze, understandably, with too much happening
The clarity comes from facts, the simple things and peaceful moments
The patience we can have with ourselves in this rush in our world

The underworld scares me but the overworld scares me more. These are indeed dangerous times but hurdles will be overcome. I've often wondered what happens if the orchestra is fine but the conductor is out of sync. Great poem Heidi.

Your voice is the voice of many~here we are (in the US) celebrating Memorial Day, in what is supposed to be a tribute for those who laid down their lives for our freedom and what is the world doing? We are in the midst of destroying everything they died for. God Help Us! :)Paulette

We will be saved by the generation of children who survive...especially when all of those old nuts from my generation have died off

Thank you Frédéric. But a lot is going wrong with bad influences with our children lately and sadly many are dying from a gene therapy injection.
