Picture This

Take me to my wonderful past! Where the silent snow fell ever so gently. And Christmas lights, decorated many homes, As shards of multi-colored, brilliant glass! Where real, joyful people dressed in finery. Sang and actually spoke to one another Not texting on their phones, Nor at the maniacal TV staring, Where hearts once connected and people hugged, I really do mean with each other, Not with the family cat or charming dog? Those cherished days are never coming back! Why be a fool in a hopeless trance, I am waiting for the destruction of all schools and churches. Here come the power mad leaders. Zoom school for all, playgrounds closed? Don't try to play Little League,you might get arrested Or get a broken nose? The Pope hasn't the courage to demand churches be opened? In league with politicians, he is pushing their Trojan Horse, That by a vaccination~~our salvation. when all taken? To then live under yet more fear and domination! One cannot serve two masters and ever be free. I know I am talking to myself,don't you see? People will drool over a gold and black honey bee. But I know, unflinchingly, sadly, they no longer have... the will to be free!

The bleak present and near future make me nostalgic for the freedoms and lifestyle we so easily took for granted. But I am an incurable optimist and I believe things will eventually get better and freedoms will be restored. And if not, then at least heaven awaits us ~ John

Power and big Money in testing and vaccines will not return American freedom...add China, now our best friend? Americans lost people, yes and their fundamental right that makes this a Republic! Freedom of speech? Our history? Washed away by Marxists. Hold on to your past ideas. The Trojam Horse has landed here, John. We adore it. A tragedy. Pangie xx. Inner Peace, 2021

Darlene, we have been in lockdown since March. Hard to stay sane looking at four walls. Harder to read poetry that looks to their government as gods. Read Louise Hay and others you like daily. Avoid news. Sorry, did not get back to you sooner. Inner Peace, 2021...Love, Pangie xxxooo

I think not.i have far more years than you.))) All that's left is to ignore the world! Communism has landed here because social media and news replaced Truth. Someone here better say it. Let it be me, while the truth is ignored. And God is only a word...to attract people to poetry. I can feel it their poetry. That's how it is for me. God is chump change here~ be loving poets as He was. Pangie xx Unkind to fellow poets is rank! That's how I know the phonies. Pangie xx
