Go Back To the Wonderful Country
Go back to the wonderful country
is the best suggestion;
this escape can save many
from the cold desolation,
and the worthlessness of dignity!
Those who once chose
to live in overcrowded
and unsafe inner cities
choked by thick smog,
destroyed by thugs,
and disliked by cops,
wish they never did!
Go back to the wonderful country
and pick the flowers
that make you smile from delight;
hear the canaries' melodies
you used to listen until night,
soak in the sunshine and nap easily!
Sarcastic is the language they use,
if one bumps into them by accident:
they give you the middle finger;
they are shameless, some are inclement,
lots of times I have pulled my hair!
They skip the line and don't apologize,
they are always in a rush going nowhere!
Go back to the wonderful country
is the best suggestion,
there you can breathe the cleanest air,
you can walk without looking back,
without the fear of being attacked
or hurt by a mugger!
Go back to the wonderful country
is the best suggestion,
avoid being rubbed
or even being killed...
doesn't it make you sick?
they are always in a rush, but going nowhere!
