On a splendid day
In the nation that was great again
The homeless and jobless milled about hopelessly
As the sun shone sickly through the pollution
The ill and infirm 
Curled up in a cozy alley to die
While skinny stray dogs and cats
Chewed on the remains
Of those whose struggling families
Could not afford to bury them

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
