Amen to that last stanza! I could go on and on with my personal comments, but I won't. This is definitely a poem for our time.
I love what you have done with this Trimeric and your repeating lines are exceptional. Your overall presentation is perfection.
Great entry for the contest!

Most wonderful :)
Comment from Nottoway
Very truth words. Our country is truly at a crossroads in so many ways. I still follow the news from my home county of Virginia. 14, 000 people with a recent major economic boost that they cannot provide infrastructure to support because of squabbling. The biggest opportunity the area has had in well over 75 years.
There is no working for a common good.

Thank you for a lovely review. We have no leadership is the problem.
Comment from Pearl Edwards
You're right Yvonne, the majority no longer rules. It seems the rabble with the loudest voices are the ones having all the say. A strong message in your well-penned Trimeric, and one I'm sure many of us agree with.
Sorry for the lateness, but I do hope you enjoyed your birthday, with new memories and old.
cheers,
valda

Thank you so much, dear Valda. I had a wonderful birthday.
I was afraid of getting backlash for this poem, but you are right - everyone agreed with it.
Thanks for the great review and stars!
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Yvonne.
You've done an excellent job of describing what is happening each and every day in our country. Your observations in statements are true in reference to how we're being fed lies daily.
Mayorkas, the head of Homeland Security, rebutted a Congressman by saying he was working 18 hours a day. It doesn't matter how many hours a day he worked. He confuses effort and accomplishment. He has accomplished nothing other than massive illegal immigration. We will have nearly 2,000,000 illegally enter the country this year.

I know. And all these people in other countries criticize us for not wanting them here. They are draining this country. What's maddening is they receive benefits we've paid into all our lives, and when it comes time for us, there's nothing there!

They come here to collect.

I loved your patriotic Trimeric. Never heard of this form, but you executed it very well.
Excellent imagery, visuals, presentation, and I love your artwork.
A great message in this societal commentary.

Comment from Loren .
Very astute appraisal of what is happening to our nation. I think I am was a lot like the majority of US Citizens, naive and thinking the hogwash were hearing could never happen. But as the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you But fool me twice then shame on me. Loren

I don't think our country can survive three more years of this. Thanks for standing with me.
Comment from Sally Law
We the people are fed up! Since Biden took office, it has been a steady decline. These last three months have been intolerable. The mainstream media is finally turning on him and his lies. He still hides behind those who lie for him and gladly so. This Afghanistan withdrawal, drone strike of the civilian aid worker and his children, washing his hands of any responsibility until he's called out. Sickening.
The border, masking and vaccine mandates! Over it! Our children are under attack and now even worse the preborn murdered until birthing day. Yep, it's moving through Congress right now. I'm praying it doesn't pass in the Senate. Biden, Harris and Pelosi are all for it. God help us! Thank you for standing up.
Sending you my best today as always,

Thank you for this wonderful review and stars, and for standing with me. I don't think we can stand another three years of this. After Biden and Harris, Pelosi would be next in line, and that's even scarier!
Comment from dragonpoet
Yvonne,
This is a good trimeric for the potlatch describing what is happening these days in government and media. We do need to stand up and our country's original beliefs.
It is funny how cavalier has changed meanings from French to English.
It originally meant horseman. Now it has two opposite meanings of debonair and not haughty or unconcerned.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Comment from nancy_e_davis
Now, at this time in history, it is a true fact, "No news is good news." Some news always sneaks through, but I ignore the news all together if I can. They LIE, LIE, LIE, and tell it like they want it to be. What can we do? I have no respect for the news agencies any more. The truth is out the door. Good job. Nancy:)

You're so right. We have no idea what's really going on behind the scenes. I think the people are beginning to tire of being controlled, and tired of the lawlessness that reigns in our cities.
Comment from aryr
What a great Trimeric, damommy. The words were perfect for all the confusion that is felt right now, for all the dismay that that confusion causes. I loved the picture, you are absolutely correct that "We the people" take a stand. Very well done, truly said and enjoyed.
