Our World's An Awfully Dangerous Place

Chairman Xi, like Chairman Mao Vladimir Putin, shades of Josef Stalin Kim Jong-un, plus Recep Tayyip Erdogan Iranian Mullahs producing drones and bombs Our world is an awfully dangerous place Yet America's response is a first-class disgrace Yesterday Congress' focus on International Pronoun Day At New York's UN today, autocrats against Israel inveigh At home, crime's way up, 'so' we end cash bail Why not let all the thugs out of jail To protect its citizenry, America's government once existed Now it opens the borders, its explanations ham-fisted Add to all this rampant inflation, rising racial tensions Plus self-defeating 'green goals' and underfunded pensions... The 'threat to democracy' shouters couldn't be more wrong The reason it's real ~ America misguided is no longer strong

Gershon Bravo!!! We are deffinitely in trouble and it will get much worse unfortunately my friend. When the end is near Gershon you and I will be writing poetry as we watch the ship go down like the musicians on the Titanic we are those musicians but instead writers writing away to soothe our pain as she slowly goes down. Sorry to say my friend...

Hmm. Interesting comment there... I would invite you to join me deep underground, far out of harm's way, until all the dust settles. ~ Survivor

I'm not sure the 'so called governments woes' Aren't orchestrated, to get towards whatever Totalitarian model certain ego inflated beings Would prefer.? I see King Charles bemoans World Resources running low I mean it's not Like he has many of them is it.? A few more Properties resources oil gold timber diamonds He might loose all that's out there.? What a Disaster.'

A universal phemenon---the once great countries are all falling and failing. Think of Britain...! Now Liz has resigned . In a year, this is the third time it is happening...! Right observation.

Thank you for the additional insight on this write, Valsa... And come to think of it, this is the second Liz Britain has lost this year: First the Queen and now the Prime Minister. Who's the next Lizard to fall?! ~ gw
