Pile On--Let's Blame America

America, trillions in debt
gives to many nations!
Alas, what for, we are seen
as a selfish nation?

Homeless populate the streets 
of LA.(thanks to governor Newsom)!
Yet don't you get it, we have
no extra money to pay.

No hidden vaccines do we store.
But all nations yelling...
More, more, more.
We are not a vaccine store!

I have no idea why we ever
helped our allies?
They do, to this day, forever
despise us

I would not come on an international 
site.
Insulting any nation, as though what 
they had, was my right.

We are on the road to becoming 
Venezuela, two.
People waltz in here, like
we owe them a living, too.

Besieged with Covid at our
borders.
Thousands for a free monthly
check plus medications, such
hoarders.

There are people legally, wanting 
to move here.
Overrun by gangs, the Cartels, 
who have no fear.

I grew up in Chicago, quite
international.
Relatives, legally arrived when 
LAW was still fashionable.

But we are expected to take all in, 
as if we are a bottomless money pit.
Don't you understand, we've
surpassed our money limits?

Stop lying and saying we are
hoarding vaccines.
You are listening to the Cancel Culture 
station, in itself, worse than the disease!

So much truth in this great poem my dear friend. Yes, here the government is takin our money in taxes and using that money to take away our freedoms, our livelihoods, our financial security and much, much more. All to gain dictatorial powers over us. A fav.. God bless..

Oh, Robert! We had best pray, ver hard. This affects Democrats and Republicans trying to earn a living. With open borders, we Will have 10 million illegals. And who will fund them? You and I and our children plus grandchildren. Most Americans do not understand this. All countries have borders. Not us? It's easy logic. No borders no country. Add Covid, no room for kids in classes....you can see what's ahead. Disaster. Gangs, fentanyl, 54 cartels are working on this madness and mayhem Hugs, Pangie xx

Hey Pangie. And we, the people, look the other way, or start holding out OUR hands for welfare as well. Government seems to think our tax dollars are a spending account, not a savings account - or print more money (idiotic idea). Fix the problem, not the blame. :) Linda

ALL BOW TO QUEEN, LINDA. FIRST WOMAN WITH THE COURAGE TO TAKE A STAND, YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAT, WOW, The Gov is like a drunk with our money. They have no idea how to balance a budget. But they sure as he k know how to spend ours. We are the limitless wallet to them. They know jack about money or thrift. Just to give our money to the entire planet.and will take our freedoms under bogus reasons. Tbe media supports their theft? And the removal of simple cartoons Is. B.S. The Grammyys, Netflix and Hollywood are the new church as they say, Gag me with a chainsaw. Have you seen the Netflix piece with Jesus as a killer? I almost fainted' what swine they are. Fix the problem, who the GOV? Nope.they make new ones.the gov needs to get a job. Many never had one. I am not dissing the sane ones. Greatly outnumbered by people who need to be in straight jackets in rubber room! Pangie congratulations, woman of the the day. WOTD, YOU BLOW ME AWAY....PANGIE XX

You kill me, John! Love your response. I know these are the poems it takes "cajones" to respond to. I think that's perfectly silly. It's only one person's view of reality. Nothing more. Happy Saint Pat's Day, from one who likes living on the edge! What's life, if we do not question the zaniness of it all? Moi!, Pangie

Many nations participate in the blame game and none of them are blameless. If we no longer look out for one another our world will not survive. I’m not entirely sure what the answer is but I’m pretty sure it isn’t that. Because some nations think a certain thing it doesn’t make it true. My hope is that it doesn’t become true.

Thank you for responding! You and Tom are such mensch! It's quite a quandary, is it not? The blame game,exactly. Look at the history of the world. Do you think it was ever peaceful? We do try to get along, but evil triumphs. Power triumphs. I am glad you said no country is without blame. But I see it here constantly. It hurts my heart. From a Christian standpoint,it never will be peaceful. But even from a human standpoint, we can credit ourselves for getting this far. We never will all think the same way. But we must stop the blame game.and from what I see, the world has no common values anymore. I come from a Generation that did. But make wrong- is a terrible tune! I have no answers. KUDoS for commenting. Pangie

Love the quote at the end, I didn't know you were in so much debt, too many freeloaders weighing the ship down if you ask me. Tom

Hi Tom...freeloaders are everywhere. In the government itself, the unemployed who get a fat check, those who pretend to be ill but don't want to work, also ride the backs of those who work. We are destroying the country. I am not an unfeeling person. But we all have money limits. Our gov. Prints money, yes. But there's nothing behind it. I cannoot believe the numbers coming over the boarder. Including middle east dangerous ones.. Some elected to Congress? They hate the USA.will send you debt numbers. It's amazing we function at all. KUDOS for having real backbone to respond. Most hide and run. It kills me. Pangie.
