Us Vs. Us Poem by Colette Dright

Us Vs. Us

Rating: 5.0


US vs. US means - the United States (US) vs. United States (US)

America at its worst.
So this what we doing huh?
This is what it comes down to?
We just gon go to war with ourselves huh?

We have come so far as a people and as a country and yet we have so far to go. Do you not realize we are our own worst enemy right now?
Do you mean to tell me, the greatest country there is, is willing to tear up, fight, kill and destroy their own country?

Other countries that once looked up to us, admired us and envied us are now looking down and looking back side-eyed at us with a raised eyebrow.

Those countries are saying, 'Wow, I thought we were bad over here, but I'd rather live here in these pss poor conditions than live in that radical, unstable, dysfunctional country called America. I thought the grass was greener over there, but nah, I'll just stay over here in my lil happy hut, bathe from a pot and drink my unfiltered water and be at peace.'

It is so sad, disappointing and devastating watching your own country prepare for war against itself. Over 20,000 troops stationed to protect one building, one area, and all 50 state capitols are being threatened.

In other words, to prove a point, there will be fights, violence, protest, death and devastation. Yall want war, blood and death on your hands. So basically, what you are saying is COVID is not killing us fast enough?

How do we rebuild, recover and restore from this?
What part of 'united' don't we understand?

We are the 'United' States of America, which means, all 50 states should unite together as a whole, not tear down or destroy each other.
We are supposed to stand strong together for our country. United we stand, divided we fall.

Do you realize children are sitting back scared, fearful, confused and lost looking at the adults having a temper tantrum?
If you don't like something, fight and attack. If something don't go your way, kill and destroy. Wow, what a horrible example to show your children. You are telling your children this is how to behave and it is not.

Please America, let's NOT do this to ourselves. This is not who we are. We are so much better than this. Yes, we are so much better than our negative thinking.

Do you not know that the enemy (the devil) greatest weapon is the mind? If he can attack and create in your mind enough conflict and confusion to cause you to want to destroy your own country, just imagine how much damage and power he will continue to ignite in your life. Ask yourself, why do you give the devil so much power over you? Do not allow the negative thoughts of the devil to manifest - Guard your mind!

And with that being said, please let us not tear up our country.
Let us unite, stay safe and stay home, because if we don't - January 21st begins 'The Aftermath.'

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Woke up this morning thinking about the next 3 days and what will happen on January 20th. These thoughts and a hope to send out a calm before the storm message. If one person reads this and decides NOT to protest, fight and tear up our country, then it was worth writing. Remember everyone, we still have to live here, so I pray we can all live in peace.

Do you realize children are sitting back scared, fearful, confused and lost looking at the adults having a temper tantrum? If you don't like something, fight and attack. Very good poem considering the present situation in the United States. tony
