A New World Order? I sign a lot of petitions (No, not the “forwarded” kind) I sign letters from some sites And add some words from my mind. I try to be involved (Not, as much as I could) We could change things around If more people, only would. For some, it is apathy And some, I’m sure, are scared But, how will they know your wishes If, your thoughts are never shared. Americans used to care about Our Country and were proud When things were what they didn’t like They spoke their mind out loud. We can’t do it at the polls We vote, then we walk away Those who represent (?) us Can’t hear us, if we don’t say! We must stay on their ass And watch them all the time Demand an “honest” days work From that payroll, from yours and mine. When they steal from us They should be sent to jail If enough of us demand it Maybe justice would prevail. But, we cast our vote And then, we turn them free Never, making them account To the folks, like you and me. What happened to that pride That, once felt, across our Land? When will we take our Nation back? We might be facing, the last stand! We have let the rule of law Be twisted all around And, political correctness Has left us gagged and bound. The New World Order Will, one day, enslave us all But, guess we will deserve it Because, we let Freedom fall. 07.30.2008 Google "New World Order" and what you read should scare you!!

It's a shame that many (most?) folk apparently tend to avoid reading and/or commenting on 'blunt truth' writes of this nature and importance. It would indeed be lovely if all of America's (and humanities) ever-deepening troubles didn't really exist or would simply just 'go away' someday on their own [as if 'a problem ignored is a problem solved' really worked]... Democracy is in its death throws...and few seem to care...or even notice... applause for this 'penning' and 'voice in the wilderness' authors such as this who still try to provide 'reality therapy' to the oblivious...in this latter day and late hour of the "Runaway American Dream"! |

Abe, My favorite part of the newspaper is the editorial page. I write quite a few myself. Bobby |

We have let the rule of law Be twisted all around And, political correctness Has left us gagged and bound. You wrote a good one Abe It's much the same over here Political correctness has got way out of hand but what can we do. Lindsay |
