Subject: America, What I Want is ...

American, What I Want is to. . .
(c) 2021 by Don Poss

Drive from California to Florida and never see a person wearing a mask, a tent canopy beside a restaurant, another boarded up store, or a line formed standing six feet apart.
I want to see children playing on school grounds, and hear the massive roar of fans cheering a winning touchdown, or home run . . . and marvel again at the sight of 50,000 people in the stands.
I want to answer the doorbell and see the neighbor’s face when I tell him the trash truck hit his car.
I want to drive windows-down and breath the fresh ocean air along the coast, pristine mountains, new moan hay, and hear a noisy lawnmower roaring too early on a Sunday morning.
I want the weather channel showing videos of crowed beaches, surfers, beautiful sunsets, and happy people riding the giant Ferris-wheel.
I want to enjoy a sudden waft of a barbecue cooking steaks and hamburgers, and see the inflatable trampoline rocking with laughter at a neighbor’s birthday party.
I want to go a week without hearing the next hundred-thousandth death has occurred—never hear COVID voiced again—and forget that 2020 curse but remember those we lost.
I want to see softball games at corner fields, soccer teams coming out of piazza-arcades, couples walking to parked cars with doggie-bags, and people laughing at someone carrying their heavy dog in the park because he’s too tired to walk.
I want to go to a mall where all the stores are open, escalators are riding full, and later sleep snug remembering the parking space I snagged first.
I want to plan a trip to the grandkids house and have to factor in traffic at rush hour, and take the paddle-wheel cruise vacation we had to cancel.
I want to see professional panhandlers on their work corners with creative signs separating people that don’t travel that route often enough to discern true need.
I want to see a motorcycle officer writing the guy that wizzed pass everyone on the freeway at 100 mph.
I want to send up a little prayer for every emergency responder code-3 with lights and sirens, and for law enforcements’ safety cruising quietly on patrol.
I want the people to have the same health-plans politicians grant themselves—and I want want to see theater marquess listing films that excite and entertain the people and pack big-screen theaters.
I want to shop at stores and handle merchandise without worrying about catching someone’s plague; support my town’s restaurants and stores—and go to church without the government telling me how I should or should not do that, and maybe feel a little guilty sleeping in once in a while.
I want to complain again about people letting their kids run amok in my favorite restaurant.
I want The House of Representatives, Senate, and the Supreme Court subject to recall by the people when they violate their oath to uphold the Constitution—and repair the voting system to reflect the actual will of the people—and those politicians daring to profane that process severely punished by law, and conspirators orchestrating such tried for treason.
I want the United States currency respected for true honest value, and not for the speed of its money presses. I want governments to balance their budgets, not exceed available funds, and worry to about job security—just as the people do. I want to ride a zip-line through a rainforest’s canopy.
I want government to earn back my faith and flagging trust in the three branches of government, and bureaucrats to fear the peoples’ wrath when they dare exceed the will of Congress to corrupt, steal, and inflict personal agendas violating the sanctity of our trust, and all so employed be held accountable to laws and subject to the same justice as We the People.
I want America united as one people, with tolerance for opposing ideologies that divide us as a nation, and stop the coming quake should we fail. I want the people to understand we must protect our country against any tyrant or tyrannical government.
Mostly, I want my country back—
restored to the world-coveted way of life only we of the USA can create . . .
the 50’s would do nicely.

America, that’s what I want.
