I Am Bulgarian

I am Bulgarian,
but wait, I am not proud at all.
Your voice is never heard in here
because ignoring is our law.

Gypsies, addicts and psychopats
walk aroung each day.
Eternal Halloween hangs over us,
how would I want to stay?

You could be stabbed for 50 bucks
while walking down the street.
The villain will be briefly detained
then free again to terrorize and cheat.

If you happen to be dying
I'm sorry, you're screwed, my mate - 
The ambulance will come for sure,
but often a little too late.

Our rulers are filthy coward rats
who live at our expense.
We suffer and wonder every day
how their acts make no frigging sense.

Am I making a bad reclame?
Well, I don't really care.
If a miracle happens and things get better,
I'll be more than happy to share.

Our people leave one by one
and nothing changes as days go by.
I am Bulgarian and I am puzzled - 
should I laugh or cry?


PS: I may be rebelling, but this doesn't mean I hate my country. It is a beautiful land and everyone is welcome here. Peace, ***

Poet Destroyer A Date: 3/26/2016 10:05:00 AM You are a powerful writer, the rebellion in your poem is different than any poem I've come across on this site. Clever write.

Bozhidar Pangelov Date: 3/19/2016 11:09:00 AM Victoria's attempt to write socially poem deserves recognition. As a young man, rebellious person, you are entitled. But I'm older and I do not want to go back to some other times. In -well these realities of ease than in the past without hope. Dead time.
