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 Heidi Sands 2/19/23

Looks as if you, Daniel and I all agree. It's about the money and the heartlessness of Big Government.

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.
