[hometext] => (The Great American Tragedy)
[bodytext] => What happened to morality? A question that's been on my mind Since others' sufferings became our entertainment Since pornographic inuendo became good advertisement Since promiscuity became glamorized and desirable What happened to morality? Have our views changed so much That divorce is justified as normal and convenient That true love is seen as a fairy tale, and therefore we settle for less That we can support what we say to be true with lies, so long as it is believed What happened to morality? How selfish we have become To allow greed to dictate our actions To allow corruption to fulfill ambition To allow ourselves to trample those we shut our eyes and ears to What happened to morality? Have we really sunk so low as a society As to raise our daughters with no sense of self-value As to raise our sons with no sense of integrity As to teach our children that they are animals and watch them live their lives like such What happened to morality? Have we completely lost our grasp of it Now that murder of unborn life is legalized and justified Now that perversion of sexual desire is accepted, and a marriage of such is honored Now that we force more liberal actions and beliefs to be embraced by the world What happened to morality? Why are those who uphold it mocked And those who protect it put to shame? If it is all based on the individual"s opinion What, then, is truth? What happened to morality? A question that's been on my mind Since I saw our leaders utter the name of God, those who took Him out of our schools Since I heard us all pledge ourselves to a nation under God, while living in a nation that rejects Him O America, America, land that I love-- What did you think would happen?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
