I wrote this as a rebuff to the Governments, ' all is well ' <br /> <br /> <br />I at times repeat myself <br />But it is only wrong that I have perceived. <br /> <br />Government statistics mean nothing to me <br />When I see the almost continual <br />Hatred for people of colour, violence and <br />The subtle yet persistant <br />Lies and blocked ears <br />Of the Government I despair. <br /> <br /> Then, why do people ignore persistant wrong? <br />As I have aged <br />I I find people indifferent to the homeless <br />The street people and the climbing violence <br /> <br />The military downright scare me with their tactics <br />They stay when called and the murderous madness begins. <br /> <br />Even flying usually an excitement <br />Has become a chore <br />Bodily searches and the officer putting on their ' iron man 'look <br />As he scans your name and flicks your passport back <br />No joking here! <br /> <br /> I wonder where we are going <br />But always remember <br />Friends are all.<br /><br />willow moon pearce<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-wonder-7/
