I never downplay other’s talents But may disagree with their basic thinking I know what leads to possibilities It is not high taxes and overbearing regulations The erudite think this is a good way Bring in more money for government display But the opposite happens; business declines Moves to other countries in order to survive Less revenue; more expense; higher tax A spiral that needs to relax I look for the critical thinker They are on the road as a tinker Anything; do anything – just to survive Wonder if the American dream is alive Others suppressed feed off the government No encouragement to succeed; feet in cement Discouraged and no knowledge of society These souls adjust to government dependency They vote for the left for the sake of security Not realizing they are taking the road to misery I talk to those who seemingly have talent Their concern is limited because they are all right But what about all of that around them What happens when their world collapses? Is there a care; a glimpse of responsibility Will the dollar tip help with all the misery Will the walking away, the turning of the back Make our country greater; restore what we lack I am hungry for justice; have respect for my peers Wonder what I can do to make them see clear I ask, “Won’t you try to change the system?” They react as though it were a church hymn Stanski May 1, 2021 ^
