Our World Changing, Not For the Better - Potd

It's not hard to see or tell this world of ours Isn't the same as it used to be. Granted, it has Never been perfect, but I've seen better days I've become numb to a cavalcade of bad news That saturate the television, social media The radio, the newspapers. I see our world changing with my own eyes Every day, and not for the better. Sometimes I feel As if I'm dreaming, but it's not a dream. It's reality It's like I went to sleep one fine day, and woke up To a world gone mad. A world, like crumbs Falling off bread being sliced What happened to the state of civility? What happened To the nature of our social fabric? What is happening To our country? I'm so sick of Liar-In-Chief Donald Trump spewing Hundreds of lies every day, further breaking His unbreakable record of falsehoods. But why stop there? Since his presidency, racism, xenophobia Fear-mongering, corruption, foreign and domestic Terrorism all surged exponentially Under his watch, police brutality is at an all-time high What is the world coming to when our "President" Sides with foreign cold-blooded dictators Over America's intelligence agencies? What is wrong with that picture? This nation, this world We're living in just isn't the same as it used to be More and more African-Americans are ending up Dead at the hands of trigger-happy police officers More and more celebrities are falling from grace Many emerging as sexual predators since The inception of the "MeToo Movement" Oh, and let's not forget about the Catholic priests! The never-ending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan Continue to claim the lives of American soldiers Needlessly. When will our heroes finally come home? What happened to the political climate? It has grown so toxic. Washington politicians Are failing to do the job the American people Elected them to do. The GOP has become the party of Trump A so-called leader who stays up all night Tweeting more nonsensical lies, who continually fan The flames of division, continually assault Freedom of the press, calling a legitimate investigation Of Russia's meddling in America's election process A "Hoax" and "Witch Hunt." But we all know better, don't we? I wish I could go back to sleep and wake up To the way the world used to be... Poem Of The Day on 12/03/2018
