An excellent entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt. I am praying that don't allow our Democracy to be destroyed from within. November is coming quickly. Thanks for sharing.

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. Thank you again

the problem is I CAN imagine and it scares me to death. How it doesn't scare his followers is a mystery.

Comment from DonandVicki
As you said in your last line, only God knows the answer. I don't like to get political, I've lost too many friends over this stupid issue. God's got a plan and it is far better than anything I can come up with. Good write.

Comment from jim vecchio
Funny, I recently posted a short story with a similar theme, in response to a hurricane. You used three short lines, but clearly identified the problem in our country, nd world, today.

If enough people can pray about it, He would honor the prayer.
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Very strong message in the poem. It is easier to get God on our side if we are on His side. He has some rigid standards that are tempered by His Grace. Well done and good luck. Lincoln was right and so is your poem.

Comment from judiverse
I'm glad you included that quotation. It's so true. If we lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. I think you're right. We need to let God back in again. That's where people get their moral grounding and values. People think it's okay to do as they please, so we see drug abuse, protests, etc. You make a good point. I just hope we survive the election.
Your lines are thought-provoking. judi

Comment from jake cosmos aller
nice political 5-7-5 poem expressing a common feeling that we are now hopelessly divided - the worst partisan division I have ever seen even worst than the 60s and 70s which were bad.

I know you aren't a Christian, thanks for your kind comments. But God has continued to bless us even tho we told him to get out of everything. But try to imagine if He would be allowed back in the White House? It's time to ask God to come back and guide our leaders. Thank you again
Comment from Janet Foor
Great quote by Lincoln in your excellent 5/7/5 poem and he was so right.
I remember a different
quote from Nikita Khrushchev, "we won't have to go to war with the USA, they will implode from within."
I'm praying he was wrong but without God, we are not a capable nation.
Blessings

Comment from phoegon
It is a very good pairing of quote and poem. I do think the middle line could be strengthened (hence the 4 star versus 5) EG: Each side capable... Yes, No?
I feel something like the suggestion could help make this piece hit even more. Best of luck in the contest, and I look forward to more work.

This is about my opinion and I tried many to get just the right thing I wanted to express. It was either that or much stronger, There is no possibility of yes to the equation. I am not asking in my poem, I am telling. But thank you for your review.
-
Ah, that makes sense. I didn't think about the change my suggestion would make to the overall story being told. It is still good work. Rereading it with the wrong stronger, I do like that option.
-
sorry I had a typo in my reply I meant to say the word stronger I like that option
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
These words spoken by Lincoln ring true today and when he said them. I do hope America starts to be united soon, I agree with you that the choice is between the Devil and the deep blue sea, love Dolly x x x
