What Is It We Have Done

I wrote this poem thinking about all the evil we have to live with in this world. I don't know that answers to all the problems of evil, I wish I did.

Our country, the USA, where we must live, is supposed to be a safe haven enclosed by all the elements within.

Everyone in this country has some responsibility to keep our world secure and safe from all the serious sin.

The people's focus was embellished by morals and values based upon our willingness to understand and accept standards set by our forefathers.

The people had a lot of respect for mankind and were willing to be obedient to the laws and serve without it being a bother.

Our freedoms we once cherished by a firm foundation were built upon a belief in God.

Is not the protective circle we once had,  been broken by selfishness and the "Me Era'

that seems to be so mod.

What is it we have  done to our country, ourselves, and generations to come?

There should be be a way back to the place we once knew, the answer should be known by some.

We must find out the answers before it is too late for each  and  everyone of us, a sadness without a cure.

Please let someone or something lead us to where we should be, for then we may be a country mindful of the things that once were.
