The Pain of Stars and Stripes

CATEGORY

long distance

Views: 288

 

 

It has been said that pain is

a conversation waiting to be had.

If that is so, there’s so much to share:

 

Today, the term the United States

is on the road to becoming less and less

an applicable synonym for America.

 

Reigning division and separatism

seem to be the new twin watch-words

describing this discordant nation.

 

Today, the old Mason-Dixon Line

has been replaced; yet of the tri-color

flag, white remains supreme; red and blue

identifying her divisive demarcations.

 

Black, brown and yellow sprinkle

in the circles thereof and polarization

of color again sums up the political times.

 

That all men are created equal

was a worthy pen; such words, however,

have yet to become a living reality.

 

It has been held that what goes around

soon comes back around—if the circle

is not broken.  Yet it is also held true

that a bubble blown beyond its limits

will surely burst and dissipate into vapor.

America liberally if not literally still has blood on its hands, black and blues from fear induced policing... good and bad, all in one cloth... the spirit of a great nation ...still struggling to emerge ..in truth...
