How Will You Know
Carol Davidson 1954 (Virginia)
About this poem
I'm not sure I can say what inspired me to write this, although I was going through the depression following a broken relationship at the time. Today, however, it makes me think of the awakening spirit of the people of this nation to the corruption and evil that has been an integral part of our government for many decades, a condition that has contributed to the degradation of our moral society and to the divisive nature of tribalism and cancel culture. Ignorance is truly bliss. more »
