Gone Astray, Lost! Poem by Sandra Feldman

Gone Astray, Lost!

Rating: 5.0


How great was this Country!
No more, No more, No more,
Who opened, the Gates
Of infamy and slander?
Who tore
It down,
Dragging it on the floor
Strangling its values
Institutions, kindness,
Its love of Liberty,
Who vilified it?
As never before!

All dignity gone,
All pride in goodness
Faked,
Are we asleep?
Or awake,
Who beat us down
With insultingly
Slandered
Uplifting nothing,
All goodness
Drowned!
In this once great
Country?
So, we would
Only want to speak
Of it unkindly,
And with a frown?

It's exactly the same over here in the UK. Have to hunker down and wait for change. We are only pawns on a chessboard. Good powerful language though.

It is not your fault, you believe the slander, millions have. I don't hold it against you. Brief yourself, if you can.

This is Not about President Trump, In case you had not heard he is not President anymore and our present circumstances in this country are more than deplorable,
