Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Color This Country Crazy

Color this country mad, color it crazy
Red as an itch we wish to scratch
White as the fear of transgenders
Blue as the beak of cockatoos
That eat suburban TV antennas

Divided we stand, so we can fight
Yelling and screaming with no end in sight
Black vs. white and left vs. right
Gay vs. straight vs. high as a kite 

Color this country crazy, color it mad
Tell Uncle Sam to change into plaid

Kim Rodrigues November 14, 2019 at 10:28 AM A humorous way to convey the craziness of this country. Gershon Wolf November 14, 2019 at 10:49 AM My sentiments exactly, Kim. And humor serves better than anger... Thanks! Smiles, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger November 14, 2019 at 12:14 AM I think this is absolutely on the mark appropriate right now in this country. Gershon Wolf November 14, 2019 at 10:47 AM Great! I'll get an 'A' n Archery! Thanks, Caren. Cheers, gw

Hello There November 13, 2019 at 11:13 PM I suppose plaid would better suit us. Why fight as one when we can fight with everyone and watch this country come undone... Gershon Wolf November 14, 2019 at 10:46 AM Love your comment, H.T... So reflective of what's happened to the USA. :) gw

Jenish Somadas November 13, 2019 at 10:58 PM Colors are good, white to black.. The minds behind the colors are bad.. Nice poem.. Gershon Wolf November 14, 2019 at 10:45 AM There you go, Jenish. So true. Thanks, Gershon

Sandra Adams November 13, 2019 at 8:28 PM powerful message and so true...maybe we all need some of that stuff growing in the sidewalks so we are too high to fight, or care, either way maybe it would bring peace... j/k great penning btw... hugs :) Gershon Wolf November 14, 2019 at 10:44 AM Who knows what would happen?! :) gw

M. L. Kiser November 13, 2019 at 4:36 PM It is crazy, alright; sometimes it seems as thought everybody hates everybody else. But then, you find that one or two who have hearts of gold. I wish that gold dust would rub off on everyone and create a loving world, for a change.

Jan Allison November 13, 2019 at 4:09 PM I cant agree more with what Chris wrote, I hope Craig appreciates the message with this one:-) hugs Jan xx Gershon Wolf November 14, 2019 at 10:32 AM Hope so too, Jan. Thanks for your good wishes! :) gw

Chris Green November 13, 2019 at 3:29 PM Wow, this has a lighthearted feel to it but the message is so deep. Nicely done GW. Gershon Wolf November 13, 2019 at 4:06 PM You are my telepathic brother, Chris: Your comment nails exactly what I had in mind as I was penning this one. Thanks, Mr. Insightful! Smiles, Gershon
