It is alright my friend. Karma is a fair judge.

We need peace and calm. Need to put away the anger.

                           It is alright my friend. Karma is a fair judge.

It is alright my friend.
A new day is arising.
We don't need to look back.
What done is done.

Greed had won.
Great countries had fallen.
Europe and the USA indebted.
Greed had broke the backs of great nations.

Wealthy men who made money off the poor man
sweat and blood are paying their dues.
Poor man don't have far to fall.
Learn to live with little for a long time.

Rich man fat with steak, huge houses and
complaining about the poor.
I hope they taste dirt and know what hunger and being homeless is.

It is time to quit spending and sending our USA money on foreign lands.
Who don't want us on their land and dislike our way of life.
We need to fix our house first. A broken house cannot help another home
when they need repair first.

Our Soldier's blood is spill for hateful and revengeful nations.
Time to bring our Soldiers home. Protect the borders.
Increase security for anyone entering our borders.
We don't want their crook and terrorist in the USA.

Easy fixes.
Washington D.C is filled with useless people. Fire them all. Less Federal Government.
We need full time work with good pay.
Invest in education and new jobs.
Offer incentives to companies to open and create work and hope.

We are not lazy in the USA.
Just tire and disappointed in what we have left for the upcoming generation.


It will be alright my friend.
USA had suffer though many hard times.
We need to hold our ground.
Keep freedom and hope alive.

A new day is a-coming.
Don't look back.
What done is done.

What is important.
What will you do today?

Author's Note

Time for logic. Bring the Soldiers home and fix the USA. Can't win when brother is fighting brother. No winner in war. Just dead people and cites.

Our whole world suffers, John .. there's barely a corner of it peaceful or gentle, where life means more than a struggle of some sort. Seems searching for borders and riches and gain and power is the ultimate aim for the living these days, and, if in the proces and few thousands die, well. people shrug, they don't care.. except for those who've lost homes and loved ones.

Your work always makes me think and feel. Please keep writing, never, never stop.. it compensates for the itsy lines some people post and call literature, Your words are what WRITING is all about.

[Coyote Poetry]

Real Writer's must tell the truth. Wasn't for Mark Twain, Hemingway and Helen Jackson. We would never read a honest view on a world we live in. Thank you for reading.

[emmajoy]

Re.posted something myself.. your write is a running theme for so many of us who feel the tragedy of our lives, our life on earth .. and so many a darned side worse than mine, that i know. I'm one of the lucky ones but one should never sit or stand head in sand.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

we are so busy fixing other countries, and pushing our democracy and ways of life on them, we are letting our own fall to ruination.

we are the mess we need to clean up.

i am so moved by this poem...this reminds me of the Beats...those voices that really said something of note...spoke of what we really need to think about...and take action fixing...

thanks for this.

i was saying "right on!" throughout the read.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Jacob. I worry for the future. Better change quickly or nothing will be left.

[Brandon S. Whitten]

Excellent read and write. Too much to do here and need to focus less on what is happening around the world. The Dream is falling apart.

[Coyote Poetry]

USA need some T.L.C. or we are in trouble.

[Renny]

Good write. I find it so interesting particularly as an ardent fan of judge karma.

[Coyote Poetry]

I do believe in karma. I pay the price for being foolish. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Dark Tower]

A beautifully illuminating piece. well written my friend.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading. I worry for our world.

[Emily B]

and just between you and me, i really hope karma knows what she's doing

[Coyote Poetry]

We spend more money on war then the entire world. Karma got the USA. Time to close the check book and fix the economy. A government base on war will fall. USA isn't done falling. Here in my city. Half the people have no jobs and are hungry. A scary new world for many places. A poor soldier from Spain told me. He had to be a Soldiers. No jobs for the youth inf Spain also.

[Emily B]

I've had two young men to my fold, they've been abused and neglected their entire lives. it is good to see them smile.

[Coyote Poetry]

I have my children and my Grandchildren. Next year when daughter is eighteen. I want to do something useless. I like the quote of some great poet in the past. "If I saved one person with my words. I accomplished something worthwhile."

[Emily B]

your words are always worthwhile, you put your heart in what you write

[Emily B]

my ten year old went to DC yesterday, I'm secretly hoping she'll take over the government and put all those politicians to work cleaning up the messes

it could happen

[Coyote Poetry]

I wish she did too. She would do a better job than the career politicians. Thank you for reading.

[Frieda P]

Awe inspiring my dear Coyote, I applaud you, thank you for sharing this one....

'Rich man fat with steak, huge houses and
complaining about the poor.
I hope they taste dirt and know what hunger and being homeless is.'

Amazing, so true, hats off to you John.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Frieda. I'm tire of war and violence.

[Frieda P]

I hear you John, unfortunately I don't see that ever coming to an end, as long as there are people on this earth, everyone wants their slice of the pie they think is due them, fair or not.

[PP]

That is better than Obama's peace proposition! Thank you for sharing Coyote :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Leaders who twist words have no respect. Obama is a example of a man who tells you what you need to hear. USA can't help no-one unless you want a bad check.

[PP]

Absolutely, I heard rumours saying how much he pays to PR people and others just to sharpen his speech and style so that people are in mad rush love with him! I don't think he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize at all, do you?

[A. H. Pinley]

Especially at the beginning of his first term. Look at him now, a man along with his party jumped all over Bush 43 for going into Iraq, but yet Obama is gearing up to go to war in Syria. I pray for his safety and health, but his leadership is misguided.

[Coyote Poetry]

No. Where did he create peace? He increased the USA present in the Middle east. He had killed many of his own people and the people in Asia and Africa. He and Bush did great thing to keep war alive. When a weapon or bullet is used. A gift to many in conflict from Obama. Obama is a war president. He forgot his people and he don't have concern for the poor people in the way of war and conflict.

[PP]

With no offence, sometimes I wonder why does America not leave other countries to sort their own mess! American politicians are too keen to jump into wars with other countries and disturb the peace everywhere..

[A. H. Pinley]

Well in Syria right now, there isn't peace. War isn't supposed to liked, that's why it should be held as a last resort. In my opinion conflict should be resolved quickly. Not drawn out. At any rate, great piece Coyote!

[Coyote Poetry]

We need to. We are the England of the old era. Busybodies who need to stay home and be quiet. I have been to the old countries. Asia and Africa don't need our help or advice. I was lucky I served with a Great President. President Clinton send me on water, food and medicine missions. This open the door to new friendship. Soldiers are not tools for peace.

[PP]

War is by no means resort to peace! It never was and will never be. Thank you for sharing your experience here Coyote :) I hope someday the entire world could dump its weapons of destructions :)

[A. H. Pinley]

Amen! I ask people the question "who makes the United States great?" Many don't know how to answer it. Well, in my opinion its "We the people". It We the People that make this nation great. It's not the wealthy that have seen to it that this country falls, it's the elected drunk on power that has seen to it our country falls. Shrink the limited government mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. The rich need the poor and the poor the rich, what we don't need is a government that gets in the way of business the American Way. Good piece of work Coyote!

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. "We the people" fought for freedom while many sat and watched. Time for change. I hope soon. When led by leader with wrong agencies. Country will fall.

[Sirius King]

I agree with it all

thanks for sharing Coyote!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. One of our writers wrote today. She saw terrible things in her homeland. I will never understand how people in a great country would kill their people and destroy their cities. We must leave the madman without guns. Maybe common sense could come from somewhere then.

[Sirius King]

unfortunately, common sense isn't so common nowadays
