"The Land of Dinosaurs"

The times that have changed America have often been the most crucial and painful in our nation’s short history. Times like these are often the ones that define a nation in the senses of image, perception, and production qualities. In today’s America senses of image, perception and production are simply ignored or are viewed obsolete. As the decay of these important issues broadens and accelerates, it only leaves one to think of how much longer a nation of such decadence and unraveling can exist.

America is fast becoming a despot country upon the world and refuses to gander at its current domestic issues. This obsession of foreign policy is proving detrimental to the common working man and the lower classes. The common working man is the supply, the heart, and the soul of a country. They define the image, perception and production of a country, and the upper class simply fade into obscurity while their bank accounts grow larger.

This is why many are wondering why we, the common men of America aren’t angry with the way things are going. It seems the blind hopes of tomorrow and the broken promises of yesteryear fester the meaning of today. The voices of the common man have long been silenced through a progression of altering policies that blanks them out from the political and the economic mainstream.

The policies of today’s administration and government are striking a huge blow to our stance as America’s voice. Across the world, we are no longer realized as the roll up the sleeve fighter for justice, but we are viewed as a land of overweight, ignorant creatures who will strike with a reptilian reflex. The working man of America has been replaced with a grudging white collar figure that eats oil and earned money and consumes the souls of people.

While this evil consumption continues, the government sits and laughs as they swirl eyes with false saints and true sins. All the while America sits back and relaxes as their great nation goes deeper into the pit of negativity. America needs to view the world as their mentor. For the past 5 years, we haven’t given a care to what the world thinks of us and country by country we are gaining enemies, and feeding the paranoia of ours and other nations throughout the world.

The only way back to our former glory is through honesty, integrity and hard work. It will take a renaissance for certain to turn it around, but it can be done. The first step is to bring honesty and integrity back into the offices of our land. Common sense will be able to bring a lot back to our country, and all it takes is a spark from us, the common men of America.
