THESE ARE THE TIMES

Why is the establishment pushing so hard
To bring this country, the greatest ever, to its knees?
Unimaginable sacrifice was made to allow us
To reach the position in the world which
We are now, although precariously, holding

It is inconceivable that our own people
Want us to fail and become a third world country
Where everyone, like in Cuba or Venezuela, lives
In an equal state of misery and any outcry 
Results in elimination.
 
Most are aware to some degree of American history
Everything was not perfect and evil men
Did exist who were unmerciful to our perceived enemies
Many more civil people led us – not without casualties -
To the successful Manifest Destiny 

There is always politics and ill-conceived methods
Involved in reaching our goals.  I think of
The Oregon Trail, which finally made it
To Oregon and this summer the “Peaceful Protests”
In Portland impacted a beautiful city in a negative way
We wonder who was culpable in this violence

We look back harshly on those who fought fiercely
On those who were involved in making the trail a reality
But look away with disinterest in locating the ones
Funding the disastrous destruction, looting and injuries,
As well as death that was happening in Portland

Too many citizens of this country especially
The woke left watch the media that presents
One side to what is going on in the country
They ignore and do not report on realities
That do not fit their narrative.  They ignore
The power of Big Tech and the negative
Influence and control which they possess

We need a new trail – one that leads to rights of expression
Rather than the road to crisis and misery
