Thin Ice : Poetry

Black ice, shiny and slippery when wet

Cause for alarm, lest we choose to forget

Black patches mingle with solid concrete

We cruise haphazardly until we meet

Sliding, Skidding traction lost

Colliding with destiny in early morn frost

Aimlessly traveling through life at dangerously high speed

Forgetting ice patches of the homeless in dire need

America, once the land of the brave and free

Welcome matt pulled, what happened to our hospitality?

Have we forgotten how our ancestor's came in search of a brand new land?

Have we forgotten we all came here from somewhere, seeking a helping-hand?

I'm aware we live in perilous times

Isis killing, recruiting young minds

Actions speak much louder than words

Advocating we move forward, never retreating backwards

Hoping no wall will ever be constructed

Living in harmony with all people, like God has instructed

Countless people still look to America For a heaven of rest

" Yes We Can " We can show the world We're still the very best
