Our Nation On the Grate

stagnant and muffled voices are stirring like a music box wound up not stop refuge sought from a whirling daunted world of which smoke of disgrace hovers over tongues lashing out at one another like school children must not do in the playground however these are our leaders at work pointing fingers and name calling. we learn young to be honest and loyal then learn where it ends in that big white house in which trust is swept under the carpet which displays the welcoming mat of dishonesty. one can see puppets in this contagious mockery like the show of Punch and Judy domestics quarrels those who step in too close will be tossed out and those that are left leave their velvet seats watching a sitcom instead of the news is entirely the same stage as the news media our suspenders are stretch to the max our gut is full with unorthodox ways and means look upon the statues of past leaders of fame was there was not dishing out blame back then today we see sparks that ignite a fierce blaze we the people get scorched battling the flame the smoke thickens engulfing us patriots who strive to keep our country stable and upright but we cough on this turf of bungling rhetoric wondering and questioning the future of prosperity when will it end,,, put America back together again

I couldn't agree with you more. I recently published a letter to the editor in the local newspaper about putting a stop to the name calling and mentioned playground as well. I pray for our country :)

never before have I seen this nation with such childish behavior and how our leader spends his time finding fault. maybe he should look in the mirror.
