It is sad to watch Our country falter Spending trillions of dollars Which we do not have To cover the cost Of past neglect by The legislatures and Governors of various States Unfunded promises and Mandates closing and Bankrupting businesses For many other there Is little hope that they Can return to normal It was sad to watch The peaceful protests And in the process Injure or kill innocent People along with the Looting, setting fire to And outright destruction Of buildings, especially Those of minorities who Were just getting their Feet on the ground Sad to watch our borders Open to hundreds of thousands Of people who have left Their own country in hopes Of a free lunch, home, Health care and schooling We cannot have a country Without borders or fair elections Without voter Identification Or pace with the debt, no matter How much we tax our people We are the sheep being led by the wolf I pray for enlightenment for myself And all of our leaders Stanski March 10, 2021 ^
