Really liked the message in this one. But, of course, to make your voice heard is important too, it is one form of action. Very well done,
Birgit and Roger

Very good thoughts, and I am one fighting negativity but getting blessed with free speech words that keep shouting to deaf ears. I vent in words to show my weakness, and my strength. I reach in to silence the ulgy but I awake with words that say you must try open minds even if they go against you. In reality, I just want to write beautiful poetry where I can make a living.

You've hit the nail on the head. The biggest complainers are just that, complainers with no action. Those that go quietly by, making sure they vote, standing up for the little guy, volunteering, and working for a better world often go unnoticed in all the noise.

That is the honest truth, Eileen. Not only are we apathetic, we fail to see that we are the biggest part of the problem. We have taken to shrugging responisbility and pointing our fingers at others. We are responsible for our own happiness; this life doesn't come equiped with an entertainment committee. If we want our life a certain way, then we are going to have to be responsible for making it that way because believe me, nobody else really cares nor could they grant it if, indeed, they did care. Strong message.
Take care,
Sherry

Our positive choices always make a difference. We have to take a few days off spiritually and give ourselves a little reward. Perserverance produces character one choice at a time. We are the sum total of choices, good and bad, we make every day. The more often we choose correctly, even when we are not immediately rewarded for it, the stronger and more positive our characters become and character gives us the freedom of knowing our behavior is not determined by our circumstances. Our walk must match our talk, and then we can move confidently ahead in life. This poem gives us hope to face the days ahead, Eileen.

Good going, Eileen. I haven't the faintest idea what it is going to take for the American people to rise up and say enough is enough. I'm not even sure another twin towers-like bombing will do it. My God, if the death of three thousand people by the hands of these killers will not bring us together, I fear for us as a society.

You wake us all from our drunken stupor of apathy and complacency
