Everybody knows.

July poetry number eleven.

Everybody knows..

New world isn’t so easy. Each day, more people walking the line of homelessness. Do we eat? Do we buy gas? Do we pay our rent? A dollar bill became useless and the people. Reaching for help and the rich men and women eating steak in Washington D.C. They don’t see them.

Everybody knows. The monsters are buying the leaders in the USA. Guns, liquor and cigarette lobbyists. They bought the elections and the poor is getting poorer. The rich is getting richer.

Now the children are watching us. They believe we gave up. Maybe we did? We have allowed a monster in Russian to mess-up the world. We watch Ukraine, like a TV show. I told people often. The far-away wars will find your doorstep. Our children will be fighting the old men wars.

My grandfather would be disappointed in this world. We have given-up freedoms and the world. Has accepted less. My Father fought in WW2. He fought three year in the Black Forest of Germany. He believed. This was the last war. So sad. The new wars came and they kept coming.

Everybody knows. The game is fixed.

The children disappointment can be seen in their eyes. 40 million people may lose their homes and the USA. Hunger is alive and well and the damn leader in Washington D.C getting 2.3 million dollars to eat and sleep.

I pray we awake before all the good is gone. I pray our children are not fighting the old wars and every children, everywhere in this world. Have shelter, food and opportunity.

Or did the brave men and brave women fall asleep and walking blindfolded?

We are living in bleak times. Putin is a monster, but then we have our own Leaders who don't exactly set an example. There is greed and corruption everywhere and the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. You write powerfully Coyote. Yes our grandfathers would be disappointed to see what is going on today.

This is a powerful write I’m wide awake to their tricks and it gets worse every day
I do fear for the worlds future but still hoping praying a miracle will stop the evil in its tracks

[Coyote Poetry]

Me too dear Julie. We are in the hands of pay-off men and women. I hope the next election. The old men and the old women are voted out.

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

Yes thanks I agree

Dark one here, C. The Brits must have felt this way during the blitz. Still, things are continually changing. This too shall pass.

John, we have Biden for three more years. His congress and his Senate can't pass a bill to help the people. We must wake-up the economy. Thank you for reading and the comment.

It is a sad tale we have all been watching for some time.What amazes me is how many of the poor actually follow these men and women to ruin.
