Directionally Challenged…

 

Is it me or is it our government?

Maybe this is not the time to of humor write,

They seem to be unable to tell their left from right,

Even when they are on the job,

New Orleans future looks less than bright…

 

Learn they need on how to fight blight,

Instead they seem to know how to take flight,

Vacationing at the old homestead,

While storms do of rioting incite…

 

Just cause the army is there now, still it is not alright,

The residents that are still there do not dance with delight,

Some have tried but still they find it hard to be polite,

Bet they would have gotten straight if they were not poor and were white…

Left is Right and Right is Left
Of my senses, I'm bereft
The National Guard can't guard the Nation
While coping with an Iraq situation.


I'm with you on this one, Ed.

I know very little of American politics but I know Ed you have the right to give your opinion, and from a distance it does make you wonder what was going on.

No matter the colour of skin, if they are citizens of the United States of America do they not deserve equal rights? And if they are not citizens, for humanities sake do they not deserve help?

Your opinion is your right, and our right to read.

Thank you Ed,

Take care on them roads,

Reg
