Give Me Grace Not Disgrace

Mourning for the fall of my Country

Where are the ways of the Red, White, and Blue?
It seems as though there are only a few,
who are willing to live humble and true,
in a manner our founding fathers would view.

Media turning the youth into zombies,
seems as though we are slowly becoming,
another brainwashed nation of dee dee dee's,
thoughts are being washed up like the red sea.

America once fought for liberty and freedom.
Now our government tries to build a kingdom,
while the politics rot like an over ripe plum,
our rights are being bashed like a pounding drum.

The rich become richer while the poor remain poor;
feeling like old, dirty mats at the front door.
While the rich always feel like they need more,
not giving a damn for the needy who morn.

I'm tired of what I here on the television,
hearing more bad news and poorly made decisions.
Our nation is falling from the guidance of God,
we are turning into tools. One of Satins pods.

Oh boy, you and I seem to share the same beliefs in regards to U.S. politics. I could go on forever, Great write!!

I don't think we've gone far enough to become "Satan's Pod" (yet) but yes, America needs a slap in the face. Veddy gut.

America has dug itself such a deep hole to climb out of.

I really agree with the second stanza. We look at ourselves every day and want to change. We think that we are fat compared to the sticks they show on TV. We believe that we can't be beautiful without the heavily advertised lotions and makeup.

What has happened?!

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Well penned...............America is definitely in trouble.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Yes indeed one of satan's pods, that saids it all. You penned the so brillantly. We need to bring God back into this world.
