What have we become?

Our Government leaders are liars and need all to be retired. Hit "woman killed child." Took me a while to track this story down. We live in a world. Better to kill a baby then allow them to live?

                       What have we become?

On my way home from work today.
The new man on the radio spoke of a woman killed in Atlanta.
She was killed by the Police department.
She was stabbing her 3 1/2 baby to death. The baby boy died.

Her neighbor told the press.
She had no food. Had no electric and gas.
What kind of Government would allow their people to go hungry?
The USA does. Need new blood in the White house.
Need new men and woman in the House and Senate.

Poor daughter lost job and husband.
Couldn't pay car payment.
Shermata Adams (Garnishment lawyer) 1-248-5191700 without notice or care.
Took 25% of a young woman check without notice.

I called and asked why did they take the money without notice?
Poor girl have a 2 year old baby and moved back home. They told me.
"They do not care. They will collect the money"

I asked how will she buy food for her child?
She told me.  "None of her concern. "

I asked her. How does she sleep at night?

She answered. "No problems with sleep. It her job."

When people run the world with no heart or care for others.
How does the common man live and survive?

Funny part of story.
 The collection is for a company that received a low interest loan
from the USA government. Chrysler Financial.
They can sent loan sharks out and take the last nickle out of a poor man pocket and smile.

I wanted to reach in the phone and choke the person. Who told me my grandchild is not important. People like Shermata need to be released into the real world and see the pain and misery they have caused.

Senate and House gave money to banks and loan companies. House and Senate can spend $1.2 trillion on war. USA is 15 trillion in debt.
 
I will take care of my daughter the best I can.
Who helped the mother in Atlanta? No-one?
Who is helping the 22,000 kids without addresses in the Detroit school system?
One of many cities in bad shape.

I don't like either candidate for President.
Both allowed big business to overtake the USA and the world.
Need fresh blood with hope and dream for the people.
There is no excuse for one child to died anywhere.
There is no excuse for one child to died anywhere.

This morning a baby die. A mother was killed.
She had no food. No electric or gas.
Loan sharks like Shermata living in a big house and eating good.

What have we become?
Obama said we are fine.
I stop my car and cries for a dead baby and mother today.

Did the leaders of the country give a damn about a poor woman with nothing.
There are many who lost homes and have nothing.
Where is their assistance?

Nothing to do with religion or color.
Government create ghost and hate to make separation.
Time for all people to tell the leaders.

"We had enough, we had enough."

We need a Martin Luther King Jr. to teach the world love and have forgiveness. The enemies is not the Arab. the black man and the brown/white/red man. It is a corrupt  government that give money away to people who hate us.

It is time my friends. Time for people like "Shermeta" to taste what have been done to 40 million USA citizen. Drain them to they have nothing.

I pray for the baby and mother.
It gave me no peace.

Lawyers like Shermeta who steal from the poor and don't give a s**t.
A congressman in Washington with a $2.3 million budget to eat and live per year.
A President who traveled the world spending millions.  A president wife who spend $2 million of tax payers money for her and mommy to visit Africa two months ago.

It is time for all people everywhere.
"We had enough. We had enough."

The poor people need to sit outside the Senate and House of Rep. Maybe when they drive by to buy a good meal and go to their fine house. Maybe they will see the 100 million plus USA people who are very tire.
 
Peace will come one day.
Deep in my heart.
Brother and sisters will walk hand in hand one day.
Deep in my heart one day. I do believe.

We may need a revolution? May need a complete new Government?
I know we need less government and more concern for the common people.
Time to close the books up for the United Nation and the world.

Old wise saying.
"Clean your house first and then have concern for someone else."

I pray to God and nature.
No child goes to bed hungry and cold.
I pray every mother and child had a home and warm bed to sleep in.
I pray all races can gather together.
Take hands and reach for the good dream.

Where no child will died because of the blindness of many..

Time for a million person walk.
Before another woman is killed. Before another 3 year baby is killed by a a poor mother with no place to go.

Author's Note

Thank you for reading. It is very long. The world is becoming a sad place. Time for the USA to get wise. Must save your country before the people must revolt.

The UK is exactly the same as the USA. You are not alone... I think this is the case in all of the "good" countries. We are supposed to be in some of the "best" countries, and yet this is the state of affairs. Believe me, we have the same problems here. Money gets stolen from the poor while the rich pay less and less. I can see that the woman and baby story has affected you. Striking news stories can stick with us no matter what, offer a deeper insight.

[Ed Hart]

you are always right on top of it, like a beacon light exposing the dangerous rocks that are sinking our ships

[Enigma]

It is long, yes. But it was worth the read. The news was shocking as it is but what the poem unfolded was something I saw in a home-made movie called 'capitalism' which played the same theme of common man's misery caused by some high-minded insensitive money-minded people. The stories they covered were heart-rending. And it always amazes me how a few wads of money can be so important so someone who already gets a big fat pay cheque, to act like this.

Thought-provoking work.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I agree with much of what you say here. It has nothing to do with religion. But faith in God depends upon humanity. Anyone who claims to love God and hates his brother is a liar. For how can a man love God whom he has not seen nor known and yet hate his brother (a fellow child of God) whom he has both seen and known? It is not possible. Our government inscribes "In God We Trust" on all of its currency. But they neither love God, obey God, worship God or know Him. And God does not bless those whom He does not know. He says, "Depart from Me you workers of iniquity for I never knew you...there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." The United States was built on faith and in faith it has prospered. "Look to the hole of the pit from which you were dug and to the mine from which your riches were brought forth" It is the Lord who blesses and the Lord who condemns and He alone is worthy and righteous. But He commands this; that "You shall love your brother as yourself and your sister as your own soul for by THIS all mankind will know you as My disciples." My Lord and my God has mercy on those who show mercy and pity on those who are of a humble and contrite nature but He rebukes and chastises the proud and the arrogant. "The day is coming says the Lord when I will burn them up. You will look in vain for them and not find them. They will be ashes under the soles of your feet." There is no salvation for this nation or for any man, woman or child except in Jesus Christ; the Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come. He is King of kings and Lord of lords. He created the universe and through Him all things were made and come to pass. If man forgets his Maker...the Maker will not know the man and life without the knowledge of God is death...not only physical death but spiritual death as well. As God is my witness this is the truth. But man will not listen because he is proud and arrogant in his own wisdom not remembering the God who formed the universe with only His WORD. Governments, Kings, science, religion...they are worthless hopes. But my hope is sure. My hope is settled on a Rock that cannot be shaken and even death cannot conquer my faith but my faith will conquer death. I do not love my life but rather the Giver of all life. I long to reach out to all those in pain and need ans suffering and say, here, over here....this is IT! Straight is the path and narrow the way which leads to God. But there is a DRAWING of the soul by the SPIRIT which leads ever onward in a straight line. It leads to salvation and Eternity and the reward of following that path is abundantly greater that all any man has ever dared or hoped to dream. May God shed His light on His people and turn their hearts of stone to hearts of flesh and make them tender and humble and loving before their pride becomes their doom and damnation. Because hell has enlarged itself for its victory over the faithless. But it is not God's will that ANY should perish but that they might see with their eyes and hear with their hearts and turn...turn to Him. If it sounds like I am preaching, I am. And I would gladly preach the same to every soul within the sound of my voice if only by chance ONE might listen, turn and be saved, IT IS NOT a thing of "religion"...IT IS NOT a question of denomination or nationality or race or sex or age. It is a question of the SOUL and the HEART and the SPIRIT which is able and willing to SAVE them both...not only in THIS life but to grant them life ETERNAL. It is time for mankind as a species to make a decision.."TO BE OR NOT TO BE...THAT IS THE QUESTION."

a very serious and true one...makes me sad somehow and think about this world...which seems to be so wrong sometimes...

[joshua deathdealer]

Some times I think revolt may be the only way for things to get better. Intriguing read.

[Thea]

Very true...Especially the description you put in there, " Our Government leaders are liars and need all to be retired."
I totally agree with your personal insight. Though this poem was really long, you've written this well and the idea behind it is just exceptional...
Excellent work...Thanks for sharing this poem...
:)))
