It is never too late for the United State of America to recover from anything as long as we remember from where we came and what this country represents. we have to care for each other and rid ourselves of the "me" era..

Where Are We Going?
By Franklin Price
7/23/2016

We can't just keep on going on
To a place of nothingness
No compass or altimeter
To get there I confess

Seems  establishment is satisfied
To keep the status quo
No plans for going anywhere
Think there's nowhere else to go

No cooperation with each other
No discussion in the air
As long as they are re-elected
Looks like they don't really care

Need people who are different
Who think there still is more
That new frontiers are out there
That there's much for us in store

First we need to stabilize
The conditions we are in
My opinion is as follows
As to how we should begin

Get involved with choosing government
Elect those with patriotic minds
Who will do what's best for country
Without their heads up their behinds

Then assist them in endeavors
That will bring us back on line
To set some paths to follow
Our direction to define

Once again be siblings
In the family U.S.A.
Pray to God to help us
Repair this country, find the way

Great poem Franklin. We are most definitely at a crossroads. I don't really see a great leader anywhere around. Not too many Abe Lincolns running around.

As has been said of Lincoln and FDR, the times make the man. Think postively. We can overcome.
