Country Vs Country

My country is my
              veritable home.
              Poetry, when insulting 
              to it,
              Makes my mouth foam!
      
              Why not go see, what's 
              wrong within yours?
              Not one is perfect, I 
              most strongly demure.

              This may be an "international"
              site.
              Best we hang tough as poets,
              and start no selfish fights.

              These are rough times for 
              nations all.
              So I am calling on each of us, 
              to stand ethically tall!

Bob, I am sorry it comes off as advice! Just sharing what I think works. Moreover what hurts my soul. People are on a waiting list to come here...add no borders. Hardly an unloving place. I have taught Asians and Latinos for years. Add, people from the Middle East. This is not an all white country, nor a selfish one.you traveled the world and know better than most of us! Thank you,,Pangie
