Whenever Did We Fall Poem by Britney Hogue

Where did we go so wrong
Whenever did our feet fall
Life wasn’t always perfect
But at least it’s better than today’s
Why did we find ourselves so deceased
Not only our health but our souls as well
How did we become such liars and stealers
Taking from the poor only for the rich

Was it when freedoms went away
Or when abortion was just ok
When the same married same
Or when under God was done away
Where did we go so wrong
So crime was just a game
And pain was just the way
Whenever did we fall apart

Why are thing so wrong
So twisted and strained this way
Life should be a sandy beach walk
Not a marathon spring to the end
When did we became so ill
And is it too late for the antidote
Are we sinking so low in much
That we will never stand tall again
