Don't be angry with me...

Just thinking too much.

Don’t be angry with me…

Yesterday man haven’t talk to another human being in 60 hours. I am drinking Basil Hayden rye whiskey and I am not giving a damn. Once I wanted to save my world. Once I wanted to write the great books and I tried to be kind and sociable. Today I sit alone and I learn.

Life ain’t easy and you are born alone. And you will die alone.

I am drinking and writing. Sometimes I write some good words. I am so tire of accepting quiet life, boring people and liars everywhere.

Once I believe. Good will conquer over bad folks. I have learn. The bad folks control everything.

I don’t listen to the media. Old men who eating steak every night can’t see the poor.

The damn wars going on and we accept them. Dead folks in 16 active war zones. I wonder if we heard their names. Maybe we would give a damns?

In war. Who is wrong, who is right? Just more dead people for the profit of war and greed.

Johnnie drinking and thinking. Grandchildren are in ten grade. Ex-president Trump want to start the draft. A draft dodger demanding the 18 year young men die for war. Make me want to spit. 101 eighteen died in Vietnam war.

Forgive me for being angry.

Once I believe the good will keep the bad people away. You have leaders who want to erase the constitution. Church and government must be separated. USA is a mix of many kind of people. I live in Michigan. Every kind of people and religion. We get along.

I was a soldier and when you disrespect soldiers. I become angry. Freedom is costly.

Tonight I pray we listen to our leaders. Hate and separation is wrong. USA is the greatest country in this world. We don’t need leaders with hateful speech and the desire to destroy the constitution. to be voted out. The constitution was written by wise men.

I am enjoying my silence and I pray. We learn and know. Many leaders are owned by the guns contractors, liquor contractors, cigarette contractors and Medical companies.

Tonight I want to save my grandchildren, tonight I want to save all children from the men of war and separation. How many must die before we learn. If you supply the guns. You are part of the killing.

Love, kindness and concern. Not spoken by our leaders. Maybe we need new leaders?

You are not alone John, i spend many hours on my own and although i don't drink i do think a lot about how the world and how people live and behave has changed so much in my lifetime, i know we have had always had wars , but it seems the whole world is at war with itself these days.
We had hardships that this generation couldn't even dream of let alone believe and that made us into more responsible and able adults.
it would be too easy to sink into depression i think, so somehow we must put some other thoughts in place, you can be alone and lonely when surrounded by people .... lost in thoughts they don't understand . It is not easy John when do --gooders think giving a smile and a kind word will make you feel better.it has to come from within at the end of the day :)

We had some peace between 1980-2000. Today the word peace, rarely spoken dear Stella. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Stella Armour]

Always a pleasure to read your writing my friend :)

dear John... Law and Order is so Important. Killing masses of people is unforgiveable Poetry can help us see more clearly. Artists and Musicians are the Spirit that paints the Mountain's Majesty. Grapes on the Vine will mellow into Wine. softly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

Hello dear Pat. Thank you for reading and I appreciate the comment. Time for the people to walk as one. For the safety of the children.

Very wise words indeed, my friend. We need to spoke out loud. We need to do things with love, and caring thoughts. We need to stand up for peace.

Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you dear Sarah. On 14 June 2024. A man shot 27 rounds into a children water park. Wounding two children and seven parent. Where are the folks demanding new gun laws.

so much angst and tension in this write, Johnny ... you are a warrior who sits now at home, having done your part as best you could for a leadership that wasn't sure what it was doing ... i feel your pain Sir :( Jesus told his apostles that His kingdom was not of this world ... something i keep learning over and over again is that our goal needs be beyond the grave .. love and blessed assurance Johnny .. this is such a strong write for me

Thank you Divine. I appreciate the comment.

You have the right to be angry; at least you are an honorable man with clear conscience.
Enough of unjust, unfair and illegitimate wars. Wars only create more hatred, violence and sense of victimhood. The profiteers and extremists on both sides like to keep wars going; big profits and land grabs.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right Sami. War is profit for the few. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Sami Khalil]

God help humanity. You are welcome

[Lydia Shutter]

A bittersweet and poignant outpouring there, John. Yes, we grew up thinking world peace was a possibility, but now, well, I doubt it will happen in our lifetimes. Well written, my friend. Lydi**

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree dear Lydia. Our generation won't know peace. I fear it will take a nuclear weapon killing millions for us to learn. War is useless. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

This fully and honestly described our world gone mad

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

I hear your voice and feel you sadness.. I too am old and tired.. I had to put the cork in my bottle.. there are young ones who still need us.. when you are ready there will be others who will also join the dance..

[Coyote Poetry]

Yes you are right my friend. We must teach the children to seek peace. Not war. I appreciate the comment.

[olla]

I think that we are sad because of all we have seen.. good and bad.. but we are also strong because of all we have seen.. these lase three years have been a blitz against us.. but as I said.. we've lost a generation of middle ones.. who will teach our young how to be strong.. we will.. even as past generations have taught us.. and we will stop and lend strength to each other.. sadness can be the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning.. we'll need every warrior and every shield maiden.. and every poet and balladeer.. and I appreciate your words as well..

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear friend.

[olla]
