Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Stand Behind Your President

The people have spoken
They flexed their muscle
As change was demanded

Rattling the diplomatic cage
Forever shattering the mold
Politics will never be the same
Neither will fake news -

Fighting a wave of negativity
Bitter tongues wagging
Taking the easy way out

Sitting scornful on the sidelines
Criticizing screaming and whining
Not lifting a finger in an attempt
To make this world a better place

Just meddling and brewing strife
Tinting all with anger and bickering
Instead of trying to unite and
Leave all differences behind

Be positive and constructive
Stand in harmony in support of those
Trying to make America strong again

If you're not part of the solution
You're part of the problem
Stand up and show your patriotic colors
While there is still hope

P.S. Awtry February 25, 2019 at 6:35 AM Line I really liked this! True all the criticism will not add up to one positive thing. Line Gauthier February 25, 2019 at 8:41 AM This is a time of true testing for all optimists.

Gershon Wolf February 7, 2019 at 10:09 PM Whoa! This is quite a piece! Surprising, and more surprising...Interesting to hear a Canadian's viewpoint... Soup mail what you think of Mr. Trudeau, if you're willing to do so, of course... I'm quite curious to know! :) :) gw Line Gauthier February 7, 2019 at 10:57 PM LOL I am so NOT interested in politics, Gershon. Our generation has not "fixed" things - it's time for the next to take over and give it a try.
