Civil War's Prelude

Nicolas Maduro's life's so rough
Gorging himself at the public trough
   While fellow Venezuelans have no food
   Situation dire -- civil war's prelude

Thank you, Kim. Let's hear it for America moving Cuba out of Venezuela asap, before more people starve. Trump ought to put our soldiers where his mouth is---right now! :) gw

Let's hope Trump doesn't chicken out. America needs to move Cuba out of Venezuela, which will tilt the military away from Maduro, and (if it's not too late already) save the day...Problem is that Trump, as was/is Obama, is a certified bully/chicken, feathers and all...Just recall how Assad of Syria called Obama's bluff---Obama's red line was a fake...Trump seems no better... We'll see. :) gw

And yet again, a history lesson in poetry form. I am thinking you read history for fun! What are you trying to do - save us from extinction?

I guess I've been reading history or about history for about 63 years now, so despite my stubborn nature, a little has sunk in... As for saving us from extinction, that's a good goal, I would think...If I were a more rabid environmentalist, for example, I would want to save us from STINK-tion! :) gw
