In a country of democracy
based on hypocrisy
and politics fought
only for personal wealth

Beatings and slayings
that happen everyday
go on without dismay

criminals that walk away

Our children we raise
amidst all these dismays

They observe and they learn
and we are shocked at thier
ways

Birdy~
Too much truth here.
But, we have to keep trying.
Great thoughts to ponder.

~A slap of reality that so many choose to not see...to never acknowledge such corrupt behavior.  Blind, lost souls...living in a fairytale world.  As Marge said,..we HAVE to keep trying.  It's all we've got.  I have to say that I truly enjoyed this piece,...as it brought on much thought...which is always good. *Peace.

Very true! Sadly it is like this across the world, at least in my part of of it. Change starts from within, with just a single person, and it grows from there.

Blue,  Eagle is right it starts at home, with one, I have done my part with the kids I've helped through the years.
Your poem is so true.
and a very good observation.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
