American Dystopia: West Coast

************

American dystopia,where law breaking  is fine.
San Freaksisco, USA, civil living disappeared in no time.

Streets filled with thieves and have become public latrines.
Owners of small businesses are regularly and joyfully bitten!
.
Perfectly OK, by our governor with madness, encouraged.
You can move here and steal, though by sane people, vehemently discouraged.
.
Some have elected crackpots, having profound disrespect for law and order.
They need to move without haste, south of the border!
.
My heart weeps for the beauty and civility that California has indeed lost.
Our law abiding citizens hopes and dreams disappeared in a political holocaust!

The reports I heard today out of Sacramento are equally discouraging. The same people who are on crusades against plastic straws are blind to the feces and the human stench in the streets. Go figure people, eh? Write on, my friend. Write on! Best always, Gershon

Well, shades of end times, which I know people laugh at. We live in the days of Sodom all over.and you know what happened after that. Plastic straws? Yet look at what people suck on day and night! Plastic water bottles, soda bottles.i have my straws stashed...meanwhile we are killing ourselves with electronic devices. CA is nuts. The chance of Hepatitis A outbreak looms as we march through dung. See my remarks to Kim Panagiota
