Thanks for your kind comments. God has continued to bless us even tho we told him to get out of everything. Can you imagine if He would be allowed back in the White House? It's time to ask God to come back and guide our leaders. Our leadership needs Him
Thank you again!

I hope I didn't sound too preachy in my reply. This is just such a scary time for America.

It's all good... tis a trying time for many.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
A powerful and pertinent quote well complemented with your 5-7-5 verse. If so many doubts and jeopardy remain on both sides and suitability is an issue, maybe we should look inwards at ourselves and ask the question: what's wrong with us and how have we got to this kind of division? Thanks for sharing your excellent, thought-provoking verse. Good luck! Debbie

There is so much truthfulness and hindsight within your few short words.
I love the reference to President Lincoln... such great advice.

Excellent 5-7-5 form that captures the current state of affairs in the country. "Is either side capable" is a prefect line that reflects our choices and questions our current political climate.

What I like about this is that it gets to the point in a small space. This country has turned away from God, I think. And look what we have for choices in this election. I don't like either candidate, I don't think Harris is qualified and Trump I don't trust anymore. It seems to me more and more the halls of power and 'justice' are in the control of Wall Street. And actually I feel more and more at odds with the culture and values of this country. In the last twenty years or so it really has changed. estory

Hi
This is a good senryu about the falling state of your country. It is hard to say whether Vice President Kamala Harris will bring some healing the deep fracture, but I think she may do a better job than ex-president Donald Trump.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great day.
Joan

Wow - what a timely quote in the light of the times we now live in. It's veritably prophetic in its observation and stance. Thanks for sharing this with us and a picture of the author of the quote.

Yes, Lincoln, one of the only true American presidents I can say I was very proud of. However, he was from the 1800s. And yes, the quote on the picture was his and the bottom one of course was my own. Thank you so much for the very kind words for this post.

Comment from Brenda Strauser
This us so true. It can happen to our country. We don't want a dictatorship. Nice use of the quote from
Abe Lincoln. We definitely need God's guidance. He is in control.

Comment from patcelaw
It is a big shame that our country is so divided right now. Have we have one choice we could either do what God is asking us to do and do it in a way that honors him or we can go completely in the devil's way it is everyone's choice, but I hope people will choose God's way. Patricia.

Thank you Patrica, that was exactly my point in my 5-7-5.
Nobody is capable unless they do it with God's help. It just isn't possible.
That is why I wrote this, because what has been going on the last four years is not working. Our property taxes (for senior citizens ) went up over 300% this year.
What do they want to do, have me pay for housing for all the people they let across the border and promise them everything for free it seems.
Thanks so much for the lovely comments.
Comment from Sally Law
A pointed set of questions in this one, mystery poet. Yes, our country's divided. I think the list of our differences is long because of the current leadership and the direction they're wanting to take America. I do not want to go in the direction Biden and Harris have taken us. Nor do I want the trainwreck called Harris/Walz!! There's the end to our demoracy in plain sight.
--Rights taken away from the preborn child and no guards in place to protect them until birth, is not acceptable!!
--Parental rights revoked all because they want a child to have transgender surgery? It's absolutely sick! It's criminal, unconstitutional, against the international law of children's rights, and it's grievous to God. I will not cast my vote for any democrat because that's their platform.
--The open border, fentanyl and opoids coming over like clockwork. Human trafficking especially of unaccompanied minors. Criminals pouring in and our system is terrible in dealing with processing them and sending them back.
--Crime is up in every democrat run city and state. I keep an eye on this.
--Poor Israel. Holocaust no. 1 taught us nothing. They are fighting for their right to exist, their enemies wanting them wiped off the face of the Earth and their god-given land handed over to their enemies. Biden and Harris are ridiculously absent here and waffle back and forth. Some ally we are. We've cursed ourselves.
Having said all that, yes, all are capable, but capable to do what? We can choose between good and evil at any time, and we can and should choose God and His ways before it's too late. We're a mess because God is not a central part of the equation as our Founding Fathers established in our Constitution. We're a mess because we, as a whole, have forsaken God. There's a lot of Christians and Jews in America that need to stand up and vote every single Dems out. Sadly, many claiming to be God-fearing, vote for them and give them praise! Personally, I am sickened by it.
Our vote and our voice is our weapon against the evil trying to consume our nation. Think of Queen Esther. She spoke up in a culture that was men only as far as decision making. She expose Haman's evil plot to kill the Jews by telling King Ahasuerus.
I've been praying for a national revival for decades because we are in serious trouble. The signs of Christ's return are on us and coming faster and faster. Today is the day of salvation!
Thank you for sharing, my friend. Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the 5-7-5.

All I was saying was that whatever side wins, it is clear that this country needs the help of our Heavenly Father. God was kicked out of everything and now it is important that they start inviting Him back again. We need crucial help that only He can provide. We need to make laws He would approve of, not ones that go again the Bible. In light of how I felt about the candidates, I worry about one not capable at all and now the other seems to be in a me me me zone and it worries the heck out of little ole me who is fine at paying the over 300% increase in one year on our property taxes but my voice isn't good anywhere else in this country. That is what my small statement was about in this 5-7-5.
Thank you for reading and your review and for your comments.
