Ooh Gershon. A realistic representation of the blind eye turned on issues in our country in favor of the "pretty" view. Linda

Gershon! Fabulous verse. Love poems on reality of our times. This will only worsen in all states. People, asleep at the switch. Fake news hid it. I know where to find what they hide))) Making this a Fave. I have great respect for fearless poets. Pangie xx
