I used to love my country.
I was proud of it.
No more.
Constant gun violence and
Nothing done about it.
Shootings in schools, movie theaters, shopping malls, synagogues and churches, to name a few places struck by senseless violence.
So many broken lives.
Twenty children slaughtered by a young man with an AR-15 and no action by politicians. Not even for kindergarten and first graders!
Instead they make gun ownership easier.
I am fed up.
Don’t want any part of it.
74 million people voted to re-elect a person so unethical and corrupt, so irredeemable and vile.
Why is a racist and hateful President fine with them?
And why are so many Black people killed by cops?
What was their crime that was so heinous? Running while Black?
It’s a violent country
Originally snatched away from Native Americans
Who were too innocent to know treaties meant nothing
To the White man.
No, this country isn’t mine to claim anymore.
No more beautiful spacious skies
No more amber waves of grain
Much blood has been shed, and God’s grace is in short supply.
