We Must Do Something

We must do something,
Liberals holler! After causing
this mayhem, rigging an election,
throwing peace out of power:

His tweets were too nasty, too 
macho-type-man”~though he 
confounded tyrants, LIKE PUTIN,
laid Isis cold, to rot on the sand. 

Now they call out! We must
do something, for a time again,
we: Send my children, my
grandchildren, their sister and 
barely of-age brother~reply I, yet
a sigh: lead the way, outside a
poem. Where words are safe
to toughly roam; 

let me see a rifle in your 
hand, you at the head 
of the liberating pack (in-front
not in back)~then maybe 
I will ask mine to follow – 

not because of your belated moan~but 
for our God! For His mankind's sake, 

though adding more innocent voices 
to your well deserved, culpable groan.

Why on this God's earth, we can't have a system represented by all nations, like the UN, that is spurred into action, when someone takes over a country with fear and threats to world peace. Reading your thoughtful poem Joe, brings the truth today home.

Thank you, Harry. A real UN! With teeth: run by moral men and women who could not be bought. A dream of mine as well~a one world government~ "In God We Trust". We tried in the US...started out that way...but it seems we have failed or is failing. On life support. Blessings my friend!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and strong opinions, Joe. In many countries, there is no freedom of speech. Ours is under heavy attack from some of the elitist and politician in our country. Have a great day! Bill

Thank you, Bill; what I think of the supporters of Clinton, Pelosi and Biden, Obama (Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters) (most of the Democrat Congress, including many Republicans) and the like, I can't really say here~I refuse to dirty my mouth with the only words that would justly fit.
