Notes About The Poem

Welcome August

Anonymously I remain faceless in a soundproof booth when dictators reign
Unforgivable leader guiltless non-truths, I’ll hide from the suffering in vain
God willing I’ll move unseen unknown like the Beowulf poet wounded within                                                                                                                             
Underhanded sinful strife crushing the heavens with tunes of a sad violin
Sonnets I’ll write of undecided weak given into evil who’ll willfully applaud
The fifty percent who stood divided, if fifty fifty then there is no room for God

We're hoping things will look better for us all. There are a lot of people who needed help and their needs were not skillfully addressed government. For example, during the fiscal crisis of 2008, we bailed out the lenders while many folks lost their homes. Those homes were bought by financiers who just got richer. I think Kamala understands that we need to focus on the middle class and try to address the hurt that exists. Some government programs may lessen the divide more after her election.

Attorney General she sided with those and fought for them, who lost their homes. Banks made loans they shouldn't have made. She is going build on the middle class, yes. TY Duke for your knowledge so important to give. xo

TY Beata! It's a fabulous name, this one was a little deep, about the division in our country like many other countries. We need room for God now more than ever. :)
