Sequester

What a difference a day makes,

Twenty four little hours.

That's an old ballard

That is so appropriate.

 

Feel so much better

After having a good nights sleep.

The world may be out of order,

But from me not a peep.

 

Sequester not withstanding

A word used by our President.

Now the blame game begins or has been

When the President is to blame.

 

The facts are the facts, Mam

Spinning it other ways will be done.

The media no longer is a watch dog,

But in the pocket of the President.

George, a very astute observation keenly expressed in a fine poem. Discouraging that our wonderful nation is in the grips of a band of politicos who have no passion for personal freedoms and democracy.
Historically we are where we were just prior to 1776. I wish you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael

Ah how very true George on the last line...
Media is in the pocket of the president...
And the ones who supported that socialist will
remain quiet! They will never remark on how
stupid they were as bleating sheep following him...

However, a good nights rest will open the new day to
a more delightful day... When one has had rest and a
refreshed brain it makes all the difference in the world...

May you always have peace in rest and joy in waking...

Love and Light

Very well put, George. The word "democracy" should be done away with now-a-days as it's definition does not hold true anymore.

Love ya!

Extraterrorestrial Beings v4 by RickthePoetWarrior

Our heroes are revealed for all they are, the final flash of a dying star, for with this pen I do they mar, with hopes I leave ‘em all a scar.
