Wrong Turns

Wrong Turns

written by: Lawrence Langman

 

I’ve searched for justice
in a world full of hates.
Amidst the confusion
our anger re-creates.
Destined to follow paths
we’ve grossly inspired.
Our media’s corrupted
our children cross-wired.
We once stood for honor
our homes filled with pride.
We earned every dollar &
one’s faith by our side.
We’ve allowed our youth
to spread disrespect.
Like a disease it has grown
to a nation of neglect.
We are now on the path
of total self-destruction.
Pulled in by the wrath of
words with pure seduction.
Like a train that has slipped
and fallen off its tracks.
Left defenseless on its rails
now privy to all attacks.
We’ve allowed this nation
to have fallen in despair.
Instead of facing adversities
they’re screaming it’s not fair.
Where are our responsibilities
and our pride as a nation?
To help our own neighbors
and cherish each generation.
Now we have this great divide
created by the elites.
To alienate everyone so their
diversions caused our defeats.
As enemies separated by
lines on a map.
We’ve allowed them leverage
and now fallen into their trap.
Until we are one hammer
and solid as a fist.
We’ll never ever learn
to finally coexist!
