America Now Poem by Glen Kappy
America Now
I long for peace between the sides
but this I want to say out loud—
how low our country's sunken now
where ignorance and greed are proud.
how low our country's sunken now where ignorance and greed are proud......so touching and true. A beautiful poem in concise shared nicely.
thank you, kumarmani. don't know how closely you follow american politics (i limit my own exposure) , but our president had been fulfilling the wish list of the republican party with actions that are unfair, unfeeling, and undemocratic to enrich themselves and their corporate donors. -glen

I follow American politics in books (mainly about Donald Trump) and television. There must be a lot of greed and ignorance in your country, but has there not been in the past also? When Trump speaks, I listen.
indeed trump is only the latest manifestation of america's original sins. i've been reading a recent (copyright 2018) history of the u.s. titled " these truths" by jill lepore, professor of the subject at harvard and contributor to the new yorker magazine. i highly recommend it. it's so well written it reads like a page-turner in places. my poem " listening to genius loves company" expresses my longing for a coming-together of factions. -glen
