I feel not so inspired these days
The drudgery of our existence weighs heavy on me
Our division as a people
Who in times of crisis would unite
No longer seem capable of finding common ground
Certainly those that wish us harm must be in good humor
How foolish we must look
Dressed in our Sunday finest
Preaching…”In God We Trust!”
But trusting in no one but the self
I can do nothing to alter the fact
There is no election to hold
I can scream but no one can hear
Those in guilded monuments are deaf but to themselves
So here I sit with a cup of stale coffee
Choking down the morrning news
Chewing my nails to nubs in nervous anticipation
Only to be swallowed up in disappointment…again
Where are we going
I don’t think anyone knows
Those with the map…they too seem lost
Lost in their maze of arrogance
And we are the ones left in the darkness

This is a terribly difficult time and I for one cannot wait until this latest self-inflicted national crisis is past. You expressed it very well.
-
It is a terrible time and I as well cannot wait for it to be over. None of our elected officials regardless of party are acting like adults. This bickering like school children is getting very old.

Dom,
How wonderfully you express how damnably our so-called leaders are behaving. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest their armpits…No! Wait! That was an old Johnny Carson line. N-e-v-e-r mind!

God…I haven’t heard that line in a long time, I love it. Thanks for the laugh. :)

The behavior of these politicians is pathetic. They are worse than bratty children. If this were a business – they’d all been given the boot for not doing their jobs.
-
They most certainly do act like bratty children and they are playing with lives that they have no right to play with. Thanks RoSy. :)

Thanks for expressing what the rest of us are thinking. I’ve no confidence in either side of the aisle. Where do we go from here?
-
I wish I knew, but I’m certainly open to suggestions. If I had my way they would all be fired along with their parties and I would start all over again with true representatives of the people instead of these crooks they offer up as if we the people actually picked them. Thank you for the comment.

Where is the Bull Moose party when we need it? ;)
Great poem, once again, Dom …. I am totally *there* with the frustration too.-
You know, if the Bull Moose party ran a candidate I would certainly consider them. They would have to be better than what we have now. :)
-
At this point the Bull Frog party would be better..
-
It certainly would be better…how ’bout we start our own party. :)
-
The Bull Frog Party! You can work on the slogan(s), I’ll work on the logo!
It might just work! ;)
-
Sounds like a plan, lets do it for the mid-term elections. :)

i believe you speak for many people….:)

I suppose that most of us feel this way, but we shouldn’t have to. Thanks Kimberly.
