The Pulling Apart of America

Opinionated people with possibly distorted truths The loudest ones thinking they are winning Many others consulting psychics and say-sooths, My sis and I agree on one thing, we are twinning. The loudest ones thinking they are winning The din in the horizon is formulating an angry mob My sis and I agree on one thing, we are twinning Pulling apart America USA should not be our job The din in the horizon is formulating an angry mob Insurrection is not important says the non-thinking party Pulling apart America USA should not be our job With lack of integrity, how do we remain hale and hearty? Insurrection is not important says the non-thinking party Where does honesty, decency, and respect enter in? With lack of integrity, how do we remain hale and hearty? The masses are in turmoil, and our togetherness is thin. Where does honesty, decency, and respect enter in? Many others consulting psychics and say-sooths, The masses are in turmoil, and our togetherness is thin. Opinionated people with possibly distorted truths Written 5-18-2022 Contest: A Rhyming Pantoum of 5 Stanzas Poetry Contest Sponsor: L. Milton Hankins

Caren, congratulations on your win. You have said so much in this pantoum. I agree with Paulette about the decay from within our morality. I am of the opinion that more we bring this to the forefront, the better the chance of turning the tide. Thank you for courageously speaking out! And, I love the reference to you and your twin - "twinning!" Very clever. Blessings

Caren, you always have so much to say, often just off the wall information with humor, but your Pantoum shows that you can write in any genre you wish. Congratulations on your winning placement.
