Cindy J. Smith
|
As far back as she can remember, Cindy J. Smith has written poetry wherever life experience provided inspiration. Wife, mother and grandmother, she has a myriad of beautiful memories to draw from. Never having been good at playing the part of "starving artist", she has had many careers. After a one-year hiatus, she returned to being an over-the-road truck driver with her husband, Dave, which provides different perspectives of the world in which we live. Cindy has published seven poetry books and a children's book. More of her poems appear in various anthologies as well as several books by fellow authors.
All her books can be found on: https://www.cindysvoices.blogspot.com/ |

BITTERSWEET REALITY
Every day I come a little closer My "Golden Years" are just around the bend Years of work, trials, and tribulations Slowly approaching their well-earned end The world outside is much different Than the one I believed I'd find It seems way too many people Have forgotten how to be kind Lies and half-truths considered facts While veracity is held in question CEOs of social media platforms "Fact-Checking" the medical professions Our forefathers fought and died For freedom and our inalienable rights Now being replaced by executive orders As millennials give them up without a fight Science corrupted to fit political agendas Humanity and kindness slowly devastated Social distancing and electronic devices Helping identity and ego be obliterated No family or friendly get-togethers Law-abiding citizens locked in their homes Criminals idolized and set free Politicians and celebrities allowed to roam Time for me to enjoy the fruits of my labor Nature's beauty feeding my will to survive But as the hatred and destruction escalate It's getting hard to keep faith in humanity alive Warning calls to the world ignored "History repeats itself when forgotten" "I told you so" will mean nothing When our way of life comes to an end |
