Progress in Reverse
turn your eyes into the upheaval
the foundation of the world
is hanging by a thread
look . . .
everyone is losing freedom’s light
one by one
country by country
what is taking the lights’ place
are the suffocating
governmental interference
in your life
even here
never thought it could happen here
but the proof is before us
and our vocal
protests fall on uncaring ears
of the government and the sheeple

Oh, I'm not worried, Nemo, I'm too old to worry. I am, however, keeping an eye on things.

Absolutely Brenda. I hope whoever wins the presidential race in November (Trump!) will be able to do what must be done to turn this around. Thank you.

Good morning flower, and thanks for the review.. I agree it is still America, but it has been weakened so much I can see major problems that need to be righted.
