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.

I`m moved by your words, Coyote. The hard part is where do we start to change a world driven by greed? Every human being has one right above all others.....to live his full lifespan....and to live we need food and clean water....everyone. The first priority should be a Word Food Bank (I know there is one, by name already)....open to everyone, no matter what creed or regime....with no food hoarding and administered not by nations or charities but by an international force with no political alliance. This first step would only unify people. Sorry, Coyote....the soapbox was empty and I had to jump on it. P.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. I was lucky. I served under President Clinton. I went on three water and food missions to Africa. The gift of food, water and medicine open new doors of friendship. If the USA spend 10% of the Military budget on food, shelter and the world bank. Maybe people wouldn't hate the USA. Thank you for reading and the comment.

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

I agree that what important is now. What should be done? What should be fixed? War is not a solution to a problem...it is a problem. There's no winner in a war. Just death and destruction.

Great write, CP.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading. The world had lost too much to war. Great cities in the Middle East are lost and gone. This is very sad.

[MOON]

Good write, introspection is needed in this world and good people need to rise up and not play their politicians games. War is not the route to peace it just kills plain and simple ! Men should not play God!

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. Thank you for reading.

[quinfinn]

he who lives in glass houses......and yes, there is a cry from our nation to expel the filth and greed from our political system...we cannot police the entire world without the filth rubbing off on us....there is a sickness in our system....lobbying and big business.....david and goliath all over again.... i am rooting for david! well penned, my friend!

[Emerald Seas]

I have to say, you write with a straight and honest purpose. I can't argue with a thing you've stated (and quite well might I add). We need things to turn around desperately - and soon. I hate to think what we are leaving our children. The last two lines are deep - full of hope, a challenge, and energy to work on what needs to be done.

[Ed Hart]

as always you drive the nails straight and true...karma is its own reward

[Rita L. Sev]

There is not one word of this which I disagree with. I love the hope in your last stanzas - a new day is coming - and what will you do? Well done.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Rita. We can't give up or give in. Strong people get stronger by surviving hard times.

[TL Boehm]

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.

I concur. Well penned!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. It is easy to fix problems. Find places that repaired and are doing well. Ohio was dead. Today alive and strong. Incentives and property to companies will create jobs. A working country is a healthy one.

ps, about the future generation and what we are leaving them?

hell, i don't want to be here myself, 20 years from now...maybe even ten...unless things change for the better...
