America, To A Whole Idea

Always interesting to hear an American's view of America....personally I believe the age of the nation state has passed, but still hangs on in spasms of intolerance, war and greed...this too will pass...like all empires fading away....

Much appreciated  interest  and thought to my words dear Lawrence..

Thank you
Yes, oh how it fades..

H

Same as Australia
Good idea to write it down
Loved it 🐨

Thank you :)

Ideas
And pen is a poet's best friend!

H

this encapsulation of a nation is also in many parts of the western  countries I fear that man has become so broken that extinction would be best - just saying :-))))))

Excellent poem :-))))))))))))))

Yes
Human shall all might as well go extinct
and thus we become the fearsome creature of
slimy alien creatures instead!

Haha,
Thankyou

We are ever evolving and our ideals must evolve along side. Great poem dearling

Evolution...
Wonder how far it'd take us...

Nice to hear from you H it's been awhile.  If you don't mind me getting political for a minute, we live in a country that remains divided because of the government and media.  The government and media loves to keep us divided so we can't come together to address the real problem with this country, which is them.  The government stages mass shootings and terrorist attacks to push a political agenda to keep us divided.  They blame race, guns and whatever other topic they wish to push at that time.  Take a close look at every "mass shooting" "terrorist attack" or major negative news story that is reported on cnn or fox news, they all attack certain groups or people and attack our rights and assign blame right away to whatever is they are attacking.  The create terrorism to cause fear and use that fear to divide and control us, it's a sad, sick world we live in.  Ok enough of my rant, I hope you are doing well and I enjoyed your poem.

Thank you
And I greatly appreciate such deep and passionate political thoughts!



matter of fact, I've got the idea from a similar talk you've just written...
All these guns and terrorist attacks
Black people rights
Women's rights


We already have it...
all these conflicting views

Has tired me
I simply wished to write it.

Thank the heavens for poetry
H

Yes thank God for poetry.  Without it you and I would be lost lol.

Superbly articulated and lyrically bountiful perspective of the falling of a nation. It seems all countries and empires eventually fall apart. We've held on this long through trials and tribulations which tested our very soul. Will we make it through the plague which has swept across our land? You pose that question wonderfully my darling friend.

Hugs,
John

Thank you
I greatly appreciate every single letter of those words.



Questions...
it must mean I am still yet a child to this peculiar world...


Although I already knew  haha,

I am grateful... for your lovely support

Your work has caused a political emotional response in people's comments...only clear powerful words can do such..bravo!...to add my two "sense"..the "nation state" is the only reason we still have the ability to post poems online....the alternative "internationalism"....will do away with your ability of individual expression in favor of egalitarian utopia...we tried it for 100 years and had over 100 million communistic citizen deaths in result in order to maintain "equality"...this site will not be allowed under the deception of future globalism...our constitutional republic in the U.S. supports the individual.... global socialism suppresses the individual

love a fearless poet
Jeff

Yes, I must be grateful...
as I am grateful to your lovey comment here

Thank you.
I simply wished to speak my  thoughts
as I've seen others do so
might as well stretch my words too....


such a earth...

H

your words are most appreciated here...bravo poetess...

All things in flux at all times, but some times more than others, our nation is in the throes of upheaval. Our world. I look to these monstrous storms as a broom sweeping out the old. Not intended as an obtuse metaphor. Many are suffering. In the philosophy I study, some suffering has purpose as it is the process of change. I feel we have lost the spirit of our nation. To embrace, amalgamate, find strength in diversity. Fear builds walls. Fear hides behind arrogance. We must be brave enough to open our arms and suffer the Bards slings and arrows, come what may.

Dear Daniel..
I greatly appreciate your in-depth dissection and construction
upon my works..


such an interesting thing to hear what others have to say about my thoughts within my works.
Yes people hide their fear
in the most creative ways...

things and ideas always bound to..
turn..


May we take the arrows and bleed
but heal the wounds and thrive stronger..

Captivating write Little One ... I am so sadden by what has happened to my America ...

America is a wonderful country
yet there is no such thing as a
"perfect ideal place to live" that exists...


thank you for your visit lovely big sis.. :)
