The World Is Changing

The world is changing



Come on now people. 
This world is changing.
Everything has become illegal.
Congress is to blame. 

Trying to stay alive - in this world of lies. 
Is like gathering up honey then living in hives. 

We are melting down. 
Need to move to higher ground. 
It won’t be long. 
Before, the Americans are gone. 

Can you tell me why – why – USA..
It’s not my fault - that I am white.
And what my for farther’s had done - back in the day..

There certainly are many seemingly senseless laws regulating behavior. Like the line about the honey and the hives. Very thought-provoking write, Jack! Love, Carolyn
