Stop the Madness




Men and women in blue,
I write this in honor of you.
How you can even leave your
husband or wife?
When a bullet from organized 
madmen might take your life?

I have no such courage!
Don't Americans understand?
You are there for their safety!
All of you would aid us right
away, you are not Johnny-
come-latelys.

The anarchists destroying each
wonderful city.
Children die early, a huge crime 
and a shameful pity.
Not one professional sports star 
ever mentions the innocents' names?
But oh, my, they refuse to play when 
a criminal dies, a humungous  shame.

The message is very clear to me.
Anarchists, sports stars, take the
knee joyfully to criminal brutality.
My life really does matter to me.
Wake up, Social workers cannot 
protect me nor you from cruelty!

America becoming Venezuela,eh,
or worse, Cuba Two?
The blame is in the hands of
those throwing rocks and I loudly
shout " Shame on each of you."

I am no fool,this nation a tapestry
of many nationalities and colors.
You want no peace nor justice!
Just laws your way, total anarchy
And disorder, my brothers!

Martin Luther King, a mensch, 
In his grave must be turning!
When watching you loot,burn
and steal....
It has me more than worried, 
with my stomach churning!

How dare you burn the Flag of
this country so grand?
As in the Middle East, they 
should chop off your hands!
Perhaps both feet, too.
As all decent laws in the USA,
and people's you so ignorantly 
eschew!

I have no answers, save this!
Get people out of office who do
support these thugs.
They need far more than a slap
on the wrist.
Arrest them, jail time for sure.
Behind bars they belong, all
these rabid, hate America thugs!

Outstanding write, Pangie! Your words ring true and should be published nation-wide and read by slick politicians especially those who are espousing socialism. God help this nation if they are elected this fall!

Hi Robert, There are far brighter folks than I who are on TV daily saying what I am. On OAN or Newsmax, never on CNN who loves rioters and loathes The Republuc and our history. I told you, stop even considering the Wild Side might win.they will publish goofy polls. Just like they did with Hillary, who thinks she is POTUS. Work on a campaign from home, start today. thanks for you long service to this country. Hugs, Pamagiota

I would never run! I see how good people are destroyed each day by lies. Yet, they keep going despite malignant slurs each day, a new lie, broadcast worldwide. Worse, the World buys it? I will keep writing. I am not here to win the popularity vote at all. But dedicated to the truth and want to see the USA and all countries that are free, honored. No fan of Marxism am I nor government as King! Thank you, Tom for al, you have done for me. Panagiota xxx

People seem to have peaceful protests confused with rioting and violence. I wonder if being couped up too long because of COVID may have something to do with all of that aggression? I've noticed a lot of anxiety and depression in people lately. That doesn't make for a passive society. Well penned.

ML. Exactly.however kids have been learning in public schools that America is evil for years. And at home, the same nonsense.even TV and those running for office refer to riots at protesting. Killing police is now a fun thing? Being in lockdown helps nobody. Imagine being in lockdown with haters and dopers..omg. I am in lockdown but you won't find me looting, killing the police or burning down buildings. And lawmakers who support this need removal! Thanks for having the courage to post a reply. Many do not. thank you so much. Sweet Land of Liberty! Panagiota xxx

I can understand your feelings, Panagiota. Martin Luther King knew that only peaceful, sensible dialogue could reap results. I'm afraid there are too many people with hidden (and not so hidden) agendas! ~ Regards // paul

The agendas are not so hidden anymore. Hatred rules. When a Senator and his wife are almost killed for attending an event, that's frightening. Luckily, Police on bikes were near. We,ordinary people, have zero protection. Kings saying was NO PEACE..NO JUSTICE, Look at the signs. Totally twisted his words. I have neen in many peaceful marches. They are effective. King never advocated, looting nor beating, nor taking away any Civil rights. So much harm has been done, it's pathetic. There are great leaders but hidden from mainstream media. Thank you, Paul xx

Love it! Truth is hard for many to swallow. Most people would rather just get along, until we become Venezuela...then there will be tears but it will be to late. You are a true patriot. Brava!

Prince de Mino. I hesitated in posting this..but as an unabashed patriot, it kills me to see where the USA is headed...VenezuelaII. Once our rights are gone, only a dictator and what he says will matter. No food, no money..no God. Kids are being taught fractured history including colleges. Even a a course" how to Overthrow the Government". Thanks for calling me a true patriot. We are a hated group these days)! Hugs, Panagiota xx
