Notes About The Poem

Lincoln was a racist. So was Dr. Seuss... Thus, the media...

Media's Anthem -- 2021

America's
    ~ Media Anthem ~

       A racist nation
       God-forsaken
       Irreparably divided
         with enmity
         and contempt
           ~ for all

In Germany, I was eavesdropping on German soldiers disparaging American soldiers for stabbing German babies with their swords and roasting them over the fire, a tale which extends beyond Roman times, yet babies only care that another person is fun to be with, they even accept without question disabilities and deformations yet learn to hate from parents, holy scriptures, censors, and politicians. Another good write, Gershon! Aloha! Rico

What a spot-on, in-depth comment, that resonates deep within any seasoned observer of babies, Rico. It is amazing just how much babies and little kids will naturally love those around them. As a young adult, my best teachers of a foreign language, the most patient too, were little kids...And I know how much parents influence children, seeing just how much I influenced my two oldest kids, who, thanks to an early divorce, grew up almost without me. The other influences you mentioned can also be huge, of course. Peer group (pressure) is a big influence too. Hard for so many to buck the prevailing biases of the group... Alright, thanks again, and conversation TBC. Ciao, Gershon

Thank you, Ilene. As Abe Lincoln put it so well: A House Divided Cannot Stand. :) gw

This America's been coming ever since the mid-'60's. It just spun its wheels for a while. We'll see if the American experiment finally just falls flat on its nose. Time will tell, as always, gw

And now Dr. Seuss too. Good one Gershon. Have a good one. John

Of course, Dr. Suess, esp. since he became one of the most outspoken critics of American prejudice against Jews and others during WW2. So, the leftist lapdogs dig up older dirt against him. Pretty soon all 'literature' will be written by the 'Ministry of Truth,' run by Ilhan Omer, AOC, and Bernie Sanders. Ugh!

I am just wondering what is happening to the world right now, feeling out of whack.

The American experiment is in grand meltdown. That's what happening. The glue doesn't stick anymore, the seams have split, and the pandora's box is wide open. :) gw
