Leaving America

Leaving America So you don't like it here? I think I've found a way to satisfy the people in America that are never happy and can never quit complaining about how bad things are in this country. Let them go to the country of their choice freely, where they can do all the different things they loved doing here so much. They can go out in public and shout their distaste and hatred for the country they are in. Let them block the entrances and doors to stores and restaurants and public events, shoving and harassing the innocent patrons and their families, keeping them from enjoying a day or evening out safely. Let them demand a government card for gas, food, and all the free contraban they can gather by using the card illegally. Let them spit on that countrys flag, let them burn it and stomp on it (just like they do in America). And let them spit in the face of the police officer that is on the street trying to keep them from hurting innocent people, (just like they do here in America). Let them riot and burn and loot the stores of all the hard working local merchants that serve their community each and every day (just like they do here in America). Let them smash and burn police cars and ambulances enroute to life saving emergency calls (yes, just like they do here in America). And finally, let them pretend that they are discriminated against and that their lives do matter more than others, just like they do here in America.

Excellent point of view Pete, exactly what I was saying in many of my poems. If one does not like the country they are in, they are always free to leave instead of cursing the land everyday of their lives. Write on, brother!
