Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Overnight

My tears build, ready to spill
My strength tested, wavering inner will
My home has changed overnight
Now, there’s still not birds or squirrels in sight
The flurry of wildlife I see each day, is gone
The government doesn’t care, each one a con
Heartless, evil, selfish they are
As people suffer chemical toxins that spread far
A disaster ignored that will last for years!
They could care less about anyone’s fears
Every time I look outside, it is empty for now
The eerie silence that is here, I can’t explain somehow

Gershon Wolf February 19, 2023 at 4:15 PM Looks as if you, Daniel and I all agree. It's about the money and the heartlessness of Big Government. Heidi Sands February 20, 2023 at 4:12 AM Yes Gershon. It is evil. Thank you for your comment :)

Daniel Turner February 19, 2023 at 4:07 PM I've been reading your posts Heidi and honestly it is all about the money. Everything is about the money. That's how you can tell there is no life beyond our planet, because if there was we would be sending them foreign aid. Sadly if it's not happening in our own little bubble, we tend not to care. Thank you for checking up on me. I have been busy doing other things. Heidi Sands February 20, 2023 at 4:12 AM Hi DT. I am glad to hear you are ok. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. Take care :)
