What We Willingly Accept

California loses its finest citizens …acceptable losses America loses its drug riddled youth …acceptable losses Texas loses its southern border …acceptable losses Our manufacturing base auctioned away …acceptable losses Native Peoples crying on reservations …acceptable losses The electorate abandoned and sold down the drain …acceptable losses Our finest and bravest fighting forever wars …acceptable losses Our schools now a swamp and our teachers inept …acceptable losses We talk to our smart phones and lose all connection …acceptable losses Our churches and synagogues bombed and attacked …acceptable losses Our freedom of speech now woke and maligned …acceptable losses The media profiting from rancor and division …acceptable losses Our allies mistrusting and looking askance …acceptable losses The dollar a symbol of greed and decay …acceptable losses The White House held captive by liars and fools …acceptable losses Our forefathers rage in eternities sleep …acceptable losses All shared common values rejected forever …acceptable losses A world without freedom leading the way …our future in ashes (The New Room: March, 2021)
