A good spiel

usa used to be
a place to seek
somehow became
a place where
symbols mean
the statue
of servitude.

Absolutely true! Just when
Absolutely true! Just when we see some progress, we're back in a prehistoric hellscape of hate and ignorance. How I wish I could argue with your assessment that our "symbols mean/ the statue/ of servitude", but I can't.
"By the time you
figure what piece
you are in the game
game over or game
change or time served
means end game."
Those superb lines hit the mark with heartbreaking precision. Reality hurts but this needs to be said. You did it well.
Thank You
Reality hurts these days ~~ time for some fantastical! Or a break.

Economic Systems
Grow, corruption is attracted, wealth horded, poorer denizens powerless - except todays trend. They quit. Oh oh. Trouble in paradise. Overnight, gas went up ten cents in Michigan to $4.80. And I refuse to pay three dollars for one orange. A message will run screaming back up the supply chain soon.
