I woke up early this morning with some wierd rhymes and phrases going through my head.....they reminded me of reading Dr. Suess, Shel Silverstein and other authors to our kids when they were growing up. A litany of phrases tripped, one after another, through my mind as I opened my eyes to start the day. It became obvious to me that the tensions in our today Country invade my subconscious when I sleep.....and they create their own kind of poetry.
It was almost like a song.......
What happened to the us, child.....what happened to the we?
When did the them take over.....and hide the best of me?
What happened to the leaders, child, who show us how to shine?
When did their examples turn to hate and anger all the time?
Who decided the other was bad and when?
Will our melting pot pride ever show up again?
What happened to the us, child.....what happened to the we?
Should the me stay silent and say nothing more?
Or should the me step out and try to even the score?
When did real become fake, child, when did this all start?
Who is at fault, child, and what’s in their heart?
What happened to the us, child, the we, the all?
This is often the way one of my little blogs start....a thought that rattles around in my brain until I decide to just put it down on paper. I have a small "following" and that's OK. I really do this because I've always loved to write.....and sometimes it starts with a dream....
