Unsashed
The walls are crumbling- the desks are empty - our schools are being abandoned- be it covid?
I think not
We live in a virtual world- where everything is done at home -
The children sit hour after hour sit in front of a computer screen
Starving for human interaction
The world is changing
The workforce is changing
People are trying to merge towards even a cashless society.
History is being erased-
Dictionary’s re-written
What happens if the mighty WiFi fails ?
Monuments are being torn down
Schools are being abandoned
Protesters are flooding the streets
Hate groups are burning buildings and looting
Discipline is only verbal
Young children aren’t understanding the difference between reality and television
Masks are covering the faces of millions- and yet the hospitals are overflowing
with people who are not strong enough to recover
What is that the next generation is learning?
Be it hate?
Racism?
Lack of discipline?
Theft?
Dependency on government help?
How do we forge forth ?
How do we reclaim our world?
How do we get people to see that we are
ONE NATION UNDER GOD?
What ever happened to liberty and justice for all?
Why won’t the world wake-up?
When police have become the target and not the people who protect and serve
Where does this leave us?
The economy is going to force many into homelessness
Is this what they meant when they said that it takes a community to raise a child?
