My Thoughts Into Words



Our world is changing,
We the people are divided,
Where will you stand,
Have you even decided?

Why are we fighting, especially amongst each other, we used to be United, now it gets farther and farther, yes there have been flaws, which our history has shown, but we have come along way, from the slaves that were owned..

Not saying it's irrelevant, it's very much a real thing, but why loot and burn our cities, is that freedom we're seeing, my opinion is this, it absolutely is not, it's just more havoc and hate, among our big melting pot...

We all live together, some feet and some miles apart, but theres alot of hate now days, that our government did start...

Now ask yourself this, do you feel free these days, where taxes are quickly raising, yet slow growing minimum wage, where our military is given dollars, while "the famous"  make millions and praise, where they are legalizing hard drugs, yet wanting to take our weapons away, by having an election, every 4 years, to put a puppet in office, while our Congress laugh with tears, a place we grew up, the beauty and the love, has turn into turmoil, and divides us up, do you feel freedom, with each breath of fresh air, because if you do, you're a sheep in thier lair...

As a whole we are complete, yet media tells half truths, puts your focus somewhere else, while they traffic our youths,
which is what they want, let's not kid ourselves,  all the shady shit going on, while you hoard TP on the shelves..., "The pandemic is here, fear for your lives, wear your damn mask, dont question our lies!" , Yes the sickness is real, but is it as bad as they say, each time we question it, they make us look the other way..., it's a scary vicious cycle, of ongoing events and games, sadly I dont see it stopping, with so many close minded brains, "I seen this on the news, or I clicked the first google I seen, maybe I heard from a friend", but rarley facts are to be seen...,

The hardest part is, we have done this to ourselves, all this fighting and protest,  while the government laughs amongst themselves...,

I'm just one man, of 32 years of age, with a very open mind, and  feeling like a sage, i have experienced enough, in the Marines and also out, that people can come together, that is without a doubt, we choose our own paths, and make our own choices, why are we good what to do, what happened to our voices...,

I'm tired of seeing hate all over TV, especially facebook or new papers, even IG..., no matter where you go, theres someone opposite of you, but why let it effect your soul, when you can discuss opinions over food!

While the president is being decided, after having thier debate, I realized real damn fast, no one is a good candidate, nothing of importance, can or will be done for change, yet we're the land of the free, and home of the brave, yet it's quite the opposite, and seems pretty prearranged...,

This is all intended, to keep us apart, to divide our nation, for internal wars to start..., because if we ever joined forces, became wolves and not so many sheep, the billionaires in power, would fall down below us, and we would win while they weep!,

I'll always truly hope, that there will come a day, were us as AMERICAN people, will fight back for a change, but not amongst our friends and family,  but against the people who laugh in our face, not your neighbor or a stranger,  but our government's evil ways.

-Donald B.
