Johnathan Pitt Poem
Time Wasted Looking at the news nowadays still has me in amazement, oh how fast love and kindness turned into hatred, it's so much easier and helpful to be respectful and courteous to others, I thought this knowledge was basic, but now hard working immigrants are being hauled off to unknown places, it breaks my heart to see the looks on the poor kid's faces, their lives turned upside and families separated, locked up like animals inside of cages, and for what reason? At least give me a basis, but all I get is replies about races and hatred, wow, and the homes these hateful people live in, the immigrants helped build and make it, I guess it's a new era and I have to face it, but it breaks me down and I'm not sure if I'm going to make it, and the constitution is being stripped naked, while half of the elected politicians remain quite and complacent, not wanting to speak out or shame it, but years from now kid's will read historical accounts and ask why we didn't do more to stop or disclaim it, America's popular now, but only for becoming a leading nation in hatred, civil rights violations, and the destruction of the laws that once made it, it's a hard pill to swallow, but everyday I'm forced to face it, our enemies worldwide are enjoying watching us go down in flames like a overloaded ship with propane in it, everyone knows who's the cause but are afraid to put the name with it, the current state of affairs are disheartening and I hate it, the United States of divisional separation and hatred, it just seems counterproductive, like too much time wasted, I'm appalled and ashamed of it

Johnathan Pitt Poem
As I Lay Dying
I love to peer out across the Hudson‘s shimmering waves and see the Statue of Liberty's iconic gaze, but today's different, I'm amazed, it feels like the core values and constitution have been set ablaze as liberties start to fade, the Statue of Liberty wasn‘t standing to greet those arriving, as if she'd given America a final goodbye, and is absent with the torch of freedom held high, as we got closer we saw her sitting with her head down crying, she looked up and saw our curious faces and started testifying that this nation was falling apart and no longer the land of freedom which she was supposed to represent for every visible eye and face arriving, the foundation was crumbling as the world sat watching our nation committing suicide, on a path that would result in it’s colliding, reminiscent of the Gestapo as it was rising, the president's destroying fundamental values, and can’t stop lying, he can’t make it great again, but isn't even trying, Liberty's at a loss for words, like her nightmare's coming alive as the nation's breaking and dividing, she looks helpless, watching America bleed, wanting to assist but her hands are tied, assistance she can’t provide and her last words were, “ I guess it was good while it lasted, like the Adele song about the falling skies, except it’s the nation, as I lay dying .
