We as a nation
Land of milk and honey
Dripping with smug attitude
Turning into something construed
By rich and white and selfishly crude
What happened to the statue’s promise
Or life and liberty and happiness
Can we ever return to love of man
If any nation will and can
We must return to that land.

Conscious write. Countries maturing into new normal need that honest introspection of what they have become after the pandemic pause.

Winning would be everyone having a say, enough food, clothing and shelter no matter where they live or how they choose to live- the “golden rule”?

It would be great if all countries could have a look at themselves with an honest lens and see what they have become. Somehow we seem more driven to control instead of as you so aptly put life, liberty and happiness. 🙂
