“It Just Isn’t Right”



Why must dreams be lost by people
Why must people’s lives be cut short
What happened to the American dream
It just isn’t right



Why can’t some go to college
Oh how some complain about not having a good enough car or whatever
But there are much more important things than that
It just isn’t right



While I enjoy my post high school years having fun
People are going to war and dying
Dying for a mistake, dying for lies
It just isn’t right



While Herndon is prospering, towns like Johnstown are dying
Jobs that lasted for generations are now going overseas
And for what so a CEO can have more money for himself
It just isn’t right



While the debt increases worse and worse
Programs to those in need are being cut
Just so the tax cuts to the wealthy can be spared
It just isn’t right



While the environment needs protection
This administration appoints people who support destroying it
Makes no sense at all, none what so ever
It just isn’t right



In a country that cherishes freedom
They try to ban a specific group of people from marrying each other
That goes against the spirit of the American way
It just isn’t right



I am lucky to have the life I got
I just wish others could have the same
Count my blessings when I can
It just isn’t right

17. John, this is beautiful. Thank you.

If you ever had any doubts that you were a really great writer, just throw them away, now. I have taken poetry classes and was a professional writer for sixteen years. You are very good. And your poem broke my heart. It was right on.
