Should I Tell

Life in Afghanistan must be simply grand No more news stories on the Taliban As for Iraq, seems it's quite the democracy Else the media's engaged in a decade of hypocrisy And how about sunny Venezuela and President Maduro No more calls for the head of that stubborn burro Before you know it, there will be peace in Ukraine What with war news buried on page fifty-nine From what I can tell, the world is just swell ~ 'Til CO2 emissions from China turn our Heaven to Hell

How come nobody writes about the constant attacks on Isreal? That frightens me… Israel.,an invisible country?not to me.. China? Nobody cares , certainly buddies with Xi and Hunter. And where is Burisma located. Do people know or care! Pangie

Because most of the world is silently or not so silently cheering on those attacks. That's why.
