make gods of men
make fools of both
can gods be cruel
and men do boast
whom to govern
whom then to lead
not the stubborn
hearts then to bleed
ideas ourselves
women’s and men’s
in books we delve
where poets have penned

Good write.
Thanks.
Thanks for posting this POEM and PICTURE "A". I am student of American History and the painting shows the OHIO Pioneers installing Territorial Government @ Marietta Ohio in 1788. These territorial treaties were very important in establishing US territories in the USA. The land was claimed by the Native Americans and the French had previously owned it then the British. The town was named after Marie Antoinette ~ Queen of France ~ OK
When George Washington became the First President of the USA (1789 ~ 1797) Law and Treaties had to be made by Men to govern Men ~ Some were Gods like Jefferson (1801 - 1809) and some are Fools like Trump (2016 - ?). Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
We learn so much from you. I was in a hurry and did not research the photo. It just seemed appropriate. Thanks for your extensive and informative comment. Abrazos.
Brilliant sir
Just brilliant
Thanks so much.
a lot of the so called men, when the populations got bigger and they needed more land. they called and did use indian removal. to use it for themselves. I am outraged!
I understand. Let's see, I'd like some of that reservation land. I'll just go kill men, women and children and call it mine. Great idea.----Not!
it almost seems like I'm shamed to be an American. and I am!
Great way of writing . I love to read you. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much. So sweet of you.
