Poem
We're living in the limelight of empires
As European states become smaller
As the European Union threatens to disintegrate
Due to an influx of refugees and bitter disagreements
It makes me wonder how they're spending their time
A look through the daily wire shows a lot of posts
But all of them are about America and I wonder why
Some of them are calling me fat, stupid, and ignorant
Without knowing a single thing about me
They claim they're waiting for America to fall
It will be glorious or so that's what they say
But allow me to articulate a rarely spoken truth
We've been watching Europe decline for at least 100 years
So busy bickering everyone wants to leave
The UK had its Brexit moment
Catalonia voted to leave Spain
Pretty soon Scotland will leave the UK
Italy is angry at the European Union
So I suppose the USA is a distraction
From the problems threatening to erode the world order
And given the president we have is a great buffoon
I suppose that's just giving cannon fodder
But I want to make one thing crystal clear
There are Americans who fight for universal healthcare
Unfortunately many still call it communism
There are Americans who fight to end the useless wars
Though they ignore that NATO states are also participants
There are Americans who know the ramifications of genocide and slavery
Although Europeans started those processes
There are Americans who fight for the metric system
Because we know our system is archaic
There are Americans who know and understand geography
When I look at a map understand I'll never be lost
I'm tired of the attacks and I'm tired of the name-calling
I'm tired of the anonymous shaming and the blaming
I'm tired of being attacked for my nationality
And don't take my frustration as a personal attack
I live here and I understand the problems
But this old world mentality of reversion and insults
Is going to reverse decades of progress
Americans aren't your enemies
Europeans you're not our enemies
But in this open letter I just have to say
Europe I'm really tired of your arrogance
Face your own history before you bring up mine
Face your own problems before you bring up mine
But know if you ever need a friend I'll be here
Maybe we can work it out over a cold beer
And make fun of the disaster in chief together
Until we vote him out in November
Maybe we can defeat the COVID-19 together
So we're not all locked inside with pent up frustrations
But for now that's all I really have to say
So I just want to wish you a safe and nice day
