What's Gud

I saw the American flag laid out on the floor like a rag

I said to myself,  “that looks bad”

I saw a train derail, people tossed about

I said to myself, “that looks bad”

I saw a lady holding a baby with a toddler on each leg

I said to myself, “that looks bad”

I saw a man on Kush, in a pose on the side of the road

I said to myself, “that looks bad”

I saw a man hit a women with a backhand, it sounded so loud when she cried out

I said to myself, “that looks bad

I saw a body burned to ash, laying in a pile of trash

I said to myself, “that looks bad”

I saw a boy hanging on a gate, wearing a red doo rag, wrapped around his neck was a blue rag

I said to myself, “that looks bad”

I saw a preacher one night, kissing on a woman who wasn’t his wife

I said to myself, “that looks bad”

Through all of my walkabout I could not find one thing good to talk to myself about

You are "spot on" about what not only looks bad in our country but what IS BAD in not only our country but in this great big world. You are a very passionate author.
