Troubling Times


we teach obsolescence in our schools and wonder 
whour products have no lasting qualities...   we
teach separation of groups in our schools and
wonder why we still have racial discrimination,
we have boring teachers teach boring subjects
and wonder why our graduates are ignorant,
we increase handouts to our citizens and wonder
why our citizens have become lazy...  we wonder
if our motives are laced with good intentions or
if our leaders have become more stupid...  we have
the richest and the poorest living here and our
middle class seems to be dwindling along with
our freedom of speech...  prices are increasing as
well as taxes and yet we have hordes of illegal
immigrants who want a piece of the action...
as if they have just arrived at a casino...  curiosity
no longer attreacts our instincts...   our nine lives
killed long ago...  greed manifests itself all around us,
we have allegiance to only more..  more...  more...
our freedoms have encouraged us to do away with
all of them unless we are already in positions of 
power to which we previously had aspired...  our
police no longer protect us as they cannot even
protect themselves...  we are a nation adrift in a 
large global ocean competing against those who
have decided not to value life as we know it at all.
