Bury the
_______________
And why do we bury
after all is it about hiding putting something out of sight
or... do we bury for
fear it might begin to smell
or....bury the
hatchet is that to bury the strife between us
old ways just aren't
working yes,
squirrels bury the acorns food for later
perhaps the idea of
burying is to not deal with it now
putting something off until later a way of putting the
problem
out of sight out of mind in our country
we
have been burying the problem of hate oppression unfairness
abuse poverty education I
wonder are the elected leaders
smart enough to dig up the problems and deal with
them
be honest about who we are what we have done and know how to fix
it
our history is long it won't be easy

Love how you started with question.. somehow using questions is more important than giving answers.
Time to dig out what we buried.. beautifully penned..! :D

Well penned. The problem cannot be buried forever....but fixing is not easy, so true.
Yes we bury to forget and not have to deal with the hard stuff....I am still looking for smart and courageous leaders to take it our, dig it up and put it right.
The word 'honest' doesn't fit with politicians. Democracy we blithely think is government by the people for the people, which sadly the furthest from the truth. It is very important to continually ask questions although answers may be few.
We bury seed pods so they will grow. Maybe that's what has been happening to our problems? Excellent thinking and associations. My kind of poem!
no never easy..i think you are right we bury often to hide..but perhaps sometimes that can protect...keep it safe until we are ready to unwrap what is and what was xo
Yes, changing the hatchet to something else might be better than hiding the problem.
