The ones that talk the most about what is wrong are the same ones who do nothing to help make it right.


Poem Artwork




You tell me
What is wrong
In this country
Like my eyes
Are wide shut
You are undignified
Have no compliancy
Talk in circles-
Words spiraling down
Falling on deaf ears

You talk the talk,
But can you walk the walk...

SO many hunger for an example; this poem says it well- talk is indeed cheap. Action is priceless!

Most never intend to walk the walk. Speeches look good on paper and sound good to the blind... Hummmm sounds like a poem to me?
I like what you said, Ron. Love ya.

We have to listen to the talk because it portends the walk. I was told that in small groups those that talk the most are given leadership, right or wrong. Once talkers have a platform like a national network, they like to monopolize it as much as possible. The gullible then fall in to their talk, largely because of repetition. Politicians are the most dangerous because, when elected and they find out that they cannot just dictate their wishes, they resort to underground tactics that really mess up the walk.

Listen to the one's who are silent...they are thinking of ways to make things better.

Thanks,

Most politicians just talk the talk, but no action in sight. That is why the Americans need someone who can put words into action. The U.S. is now TOTALLY SERIOUSLY in debts, if not corrected, the U.S. will eventually belong to other countries and there will not be America anymore, you can seriously see what is happening. People are trashing the American flag, and the American heritages. Whether you believe it or not, the Americans are in serious trouble if nothing is put to correct this. No more politicians who just talk and do nothing to correct this! Elect someone who will put words into action, and take back America!!!!
