Apply For The Job No One Really Wants

This land  is your land full of chatter, vile and ignorant acts mounting at levels where people  who seek peace are the very ones cutting tongues with spiteful innuendos observing from distance forming opinions on topics  so far above their level of comprehension They with no formal schooling  whose trades are  not in line with the higher authorities announce quite loudly what our land our government must do to bring peace back  fairness that supplies  the hearts of everyone I am both appalled and saddened  with those who cannot find victory in their own small towns  expect to rule the Universe with no real facts for those will always be hidden deep within the roots of the trees that govern society

Additional Notes:
Paris, terrorists, Isis, the list of our country at war is long and dates back to the beginning of time - Very tired of people who have never held a political position taking a stand just to speak their opinions should realize some things are out of our hands - and always will be- Just thoughts -

I get it. So many have opinions, and offer simple solutions to complex issues. And yes there's not a lot we can do about it which is at the very heart of terror itself.

Hi DeniMari...I totally agree with you about things being out of our hands...the world is definitely out of our hands and never the twain shall meet...so it seems. None of those in power right now know what needs to be done...they just sit in their political position and wait...it will take a missile or two to wake them up...then...it's too late. Your poem is very astute in looking at these problems, penetrating and honest. A very good write. Best of luck always. Wanda

I had to read this over and over. Every line is meaningful and has a strong message. I would think that all of these feelings would apply even if a country was not at war. Being the change you wish to see in the world is a very challenging philosophy to live by. An interesting point - the formal schooling - because I believe this outlook can also exist in sections of society that have had access to and have been recipients of a good education. They refuse to vote, attributing their non-participation in the democratic process to the presence of no viable option (because they are so educated they know the difference!). Some people don't understand the point of embedding themselves in the system. They don't know the influence they can have or the change they can make with little steps. Very thought-provoking.. I'd like to have tea with you someday! :)
