Misconceptions Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak
Misconceptions
Energized by an article written on racism in America, while
reading it, seeing the misconceptions people in India and
other countries around the world have of America.
It seems to me that these misconceptions stem from our own
politicians and those in our government, portraying their
own agendas, greed and corruption to the world around us.
When in reality, Americans are not at all what we are being
portrayed as by these supposed representatives of ours.
We the People are being misrepresented and this error must
be corrected now.
As Americans, we see a need and we are there to lend a
helping hand, to do whatever we can to help those who are
more unfortunate than we are.
Our minds and hearts are open, giving, caring, compassionate
towards others, even here in the U.S. we help each other,
volunteer, give of our own time and money to help whenever
we can.
And how are we portrayed by our government? As rich snobs
who care nothing about people in other countries, who start
wars out of selfish greed, protect the wrong countries and
let those deserving of our help go unnourished, unfed, doing
without our protection and help.
Helping the countries whose people are evil, greedy, corrupt,
and selfish, because that is how the reality of our politicians
and government act towards everyone.
It's no wonder other countries have such a bad impression of
Americans.
We the people do not stand behind the atrocities our government
and politicians are committing, they have not been listening to
us, not representing us at all.
They go against what we Americans want and that is peace and
equality all over the world, because we are all equal in the
eyes of God.
Personally, I do not understand racism and hatred of others
because of their color or nationality, it makes no sense to
me at all.
We are after all human beings across the board, I see no
difference when looking at people, they are all the same
to me, we just have different outlooks and values on life
and that's no reason to hate anyone.
A lovely penning on an impotent issue which is serious and sentimental too..It's very true that for some few people only whose wrong notions and wild actions (mainly by the political leadership) , the whole country's people can't be tainted with a wrong impression by others who are effected or suffering economically or socially suppressed...... Thank you

Excellent writing on what is going on in news. No doubt the image of our country is being tarnished by few. As an individual we have to follow and practice the principles of equality and liberty and keep those great values alive. Thank you for sharing.
