Array ( [sid] => 8256 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => WHAT IS THAT WE HAVE DONE [time] => 2002-12-08 19:30:00 [hometext] => This poem I wrote because of all the evil that we have to live with in this world, I don't know the answers to our problems. I wish I did. [bodytext] => Our Country, the USA, where we must live, is supposed to be a safe haven enclosed by all elements within.
Everyone in this country has some responsibility to keep our world secure and safe from all the serious sin.

The people's focus was embellished by morals and values based upon our willingness to understand and accept standards set by our forefathers.
The people had a lot of respect for mankind and were willing to be obedient to the laws and to serve without it being a bother.

Our freedoms that we once cherished by a firm foundation were built upon a belief in God.
Is not the protective circle we once had been broken by selfishness and the "Me Era" that seems to be so mod?

What is it that we have done to our country, ourselfves and generations to come?
There should be a way back to the place we once were, the answer should be known by some.

We must find out the answers before it is too late for each and everyone of us, a sadness without a cure.
Please let someone or something lead us to where we should be, that we may be a country mindful of the things that once were.

Our Country, the USA, where we must live, is supposed to be a safe haven enclosed by all elements within.
Everyone in this country has some responsibility to keep our world secure and safe from all the serious sin.

The people's focus was embellished by morals and values based upon our willingness to understand and accept standards set by our forefathers.
The people had a lot of respect for mankind and were willing to be obedient to the laws and to serve without it being a bother.

Our freedoms that we once cherished by a firm foundation were built upon a belief in God.
Is not the protective circle we once had been broken by selfishness and the "Me Era" that seems to be so mod?

What is it that we have done to our country, ourselfves and generations to come?
There should be a way back to the place we once were, the answer should be known by some.

We must find out the answers before it is too late for each and everyone of us, a sadness without a cure.
Please let someone or something lead us to where we should be, that we may be a country mindful of the things that once were.

Nice Write. it makes me think of this quote by Anne Graham Lotz
"I say God is also angry when he sees something like this. I would say also for several years now Americans in a sense have shaken their fist at God and said, God, we want you out of our schools, our government, our business, we want you out of our marketplace. And God, who is a gentleman, has just quietly backed out of our national and political life, our public life. Removing his hand of blessing and protection. We need to turn to God first of all and say, God, we're sorry we have treated you this way and we invite you now to come into our national life. We put our trust in you. We have our trust in God on our coins, we need to practice it. "
