FAILED

The truest character of ignorance are vanity and pride and arrogance." (Samuel Butler)

Divisive times, self centered ways

Do you love your neighbor or show disdain

Somewhere it is dangerous to go outside

Lock your doors when you take a ride

In the mirror what face do you see?

Is it the one who looks down on me?

Greed for some is the driving force

Collecting welfare is another's of course

We once said hello or have a nice day

Now we walk a little faster and look away

Black on black crime is rising fast

Broken homes increase  more hopes are dashed

Blame is more than just a game

Many excuses are being explained

Funerals for the young are no longer rare

Now it may be unlawful to say a prayer

Either neglect your children or spoil them rotten

Is this how far society has gotten?

Single mothers with no support

Holding down a crumbling fort

Alcohol and drugs now being condoned

Amid the liberal overtones

Abortion by demand is to prevail

What did our country do to fail?
