Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

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

Panagiota Romios February 8, 2023 at 8:04 AM 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 Panagiota Romios February 8, 2023 at 10:36 AM Gershon…I think you might be right. Frightens me. Pangiet Gershon Wolf February 8, 2023 at 10:22 AM Because most of the world is silently or not so silently cheering on those attacks. That's why.
