THE WAY I SEE IT

I think in degrees, often jumping 
from one subject to another,
fascinated by accomplishments of people 
I have read about and
angry at not knowing more, wondering about 
what happened in school
Where was the emphasis and 
why were some books recommended and others not
Why was everyone taught in the same way 
even though we learn differently?
 
No one’s fault it is just the way it was.  
When you investigate you see
that things have not changed much 
except history has been revised
important events reduced to a few paragraphs 
or omitted altogether and recent 
characters of history given a whole chapter
 
It is to our own demise that 
we continue in this way
The ACLU has caused a huge breakdown in 
the morality of the country 
Children need notes from their 
parents for an aspirin tablet but
an abortion many take place and 
the parents have no right to know or interfere
 
Accountability and respect 
are diminishing in importance
Writers spiel out opinions which are praised 
even though they lead to the cliff 
we will probably fall over
 
Hollywood takes great liberty in indoctrinating
the masses creating victim-hood and envy
Uninformed actors grab the headlines
with remarks of hatred 
Judges make unconstitutional decisions 
Politicians who were for something 
important at one time are now against it 
because they do not like our leader
who is actually doing something about
the poor condition our country has been left in
by recent administrations 
 
People do not recognize that there are
no Republicans or Democrats. 
There are conservatives and liberals and
the swamp which contains
members from both sides of the aisle. 
So we have the swamp versus the deplorable
May the swamp, by the grace of God,
be drained and people then wake up
 
Each of us wants out thoughts to be correct
Maybe they are and maybe not
One thing for sure is that truth will eventually rule
we will be long gone and forgotten and
the same arguments will be taking place
Foolishness is perpetual and
the weak cling to it
They should reform and look at things differently
Look at them in the way that I see it
Then they will be alright
