Someone has to say it
This is outspoken thoughts at the end of 2023. Some may find this to be negative, , even though it ends positive. Many may disagree and are welcome to ignore this. It is not meant to instigate problems of any kind. It is just my right to speak my mind. Thank you. It is long, so I understand lack of reading it for that reason too. I just want it on my page this year.
The world has gone off the rails
Transformation like never before
Hypocrisy blows wicked with the wind
Division is instigated by media and others
Lies roll like punches to those with vision
People who took extensive time to research
Those who maintain common sense daily
They stand their ground strongly anyway
Lack of justice burns the flag, lawless actions
Steam roll over our land, without accountability
Public endangerment ensues without a blink
Corruption rules with evidence to prove it
Some may discount it, right before their eyes
Gender issues become priority over safety
War continues and we give money endlessly
While homeless and veterans, are neglected
The invasion continues at our open border
But those addressing the risks are called racist
Censorship happens, removing freedom of speech
A human right that American citizens are losing
False accusations are tossed around, left and right
Brainwashing occurs with repetition through the news
How nice it would be, to return to days with no television
Social media or all the things controlling people
So many distractions from this beautiful, natural, creation
Sadly attacks on God are common as of part of life
Historic statues are torn down while cities are burned
Protestors allowed to lay in the streets, causing hazards
Unity is lost, lawfulness is twisted or non existent
The death of Americans does not seem to matter these days
It's time to distance ourselves from this evil and share good
There is no knowing the time we have left to live and love
We must find peace in a world that spins like a tornado
Dodge the wreckage, create safety, for our minds, hearts and souls
So, someone has to say it; in a world in that speaking has become fear
Fear of judgement, retaliation, attacks or even loss of connections
Courage with faith is the way to survive, this kind of evil that spreads
Do not be afraid, speak and never be silenced, never back down
A new year is beginning, time granted to you, it is never too late
To change reactions, gain perceptions and celebrate the best of life
