Hiding Isn't The Solution

  

Out of place… Raggedy Ann and Andy

 

In a world of Barbie and Ken.

 

Fogging up this perfect diamond

 

Set so carefully in place.

 

Shoveled… like a mess in the yard

 

That Toto left behind.

 

Don’t forget even Oz wasn’t perfect

 

Still everyone got what they needed.

 

Picture perfect scene or is it?

 

When reality is discarded

 

Like the newspapers covering

 

This day in history.

 

How can we fix today’s issues

 

When they are locked in a basement

 

With the items never seen again?

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

I must say I was thrilled with the inauguration of our new President... it was a wonderfully historic event but I was a bit disturbed by an event I hear took place before the Ball... all the homeless were rounded up and placed elsewhere.

They believe if we can't see it than it must not really exist. That has been our government thought for years. Let me show this over here so you won't look at what's over there and what we are doing to you behind your back. Our government is as shade a crooked as any other countries that they claim to be trying to stop. But we the majority of people would rather look away than to see the real issues we are left with something like we have today. A country of individual that seem to not give a crap about anything but themselves. It is up to people like us to show these scenes and hopeful open a few people eyes at a time in order to really make some change in the world.

Keep up the fight
Brothers in arms to the very end


Great Job!!!!!!
