Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

The Great Migrations

They’re moving out of Jersey
and California too.
They flee from New York and D.C.
So where they running to?

Folks are mostly headed south,
and Florida I hear
is number one. As of now,
that state’s not slowing down!

Texas sure is growing fast.
Here are things I know.
They’ve got no state income tax
and cost of living’s low.

Google will not say this, but
I think that folks have fled
away from mostly mandate-states
since freer states are red!

Donna Roberts March 7, 2022 at 7:48 AM Congratulations Andrea, flush goggle and its lies down the toilet! Andrea Dietrich March 7, 2022 at 7:59 AM Right on, sister!!

Cecilia Macfarlane February 3, 2022 at 12:44 PM Great write Andrea. Fleeing to freedom is always the best choice. Hugs

Joseph P. DiMino January 30, 2022 at 4:20 PM For sure; but it may not remain that way. There is real treason going on -- military needs to investigate actions of this administration. What they are doing with the southern border is criminal! Not a mistaken policy. Criminal! Joe.

Weston Gregory January 30, 2022 at 6:59 AM "so where they running to?". Refreshing tone Andrea. Lov the write Andrea Dietrich January 30, 2022 at 12:24 PM states with more freedom

Bill Baker January 29, 2022 at 2:18 PM Nice way to say what your sense is happening in the area of migration, Andrea. Great entry in the contest, by the way. I agree with what you said through your poetry in this one. People want to be free, not get everything free. A poet friend, Bill

Andrew John January 28, 2022 at 1:09 AM Maybe they've run away from Google! Nice poem, Andrea.

Harry Horsman January 27, 2022 at 11:05 PM Do we need to be afraid, Andrea, what next a war? Nostradamus did predict one 500 year ago. Then to the stars, not Hollywood, but the heavenly ones. I agree with your concerns. Stay Safe. Harry Andrea Dietrich January 29, 2022 at 10:13 PM If people would practice civil disobedience , we could turn the table on the elite who are running the world. Alas, i don't see it happening, but KUDOS to Canada even though the media is blacking out the biggest convoy in history. i am hoping other countries follow suit

P.S. Awtry January 27, 2022 at 8:31 PM I think this is a great entry! :)

Michael Tor January 27, 2022 at 11:40 AM Andrea your 100 percent correct they are fleeing the tyrants that have a sinister agenda to control, lie, and manipulate the masses for their Global control agenda. Some will someday come out from living under a rock and realize what is really taking place, Daytona here I come , lol luv Michael Rene

Rico Leffanta January 27, 2022 at 10:56 AM 100-years ago, the Bell Telephone Work Study concluded any group of people will sink to the lowest level of performance to maintain the harmony of the group, so it is no surprise at all that "losers" would rush to Florida and Texas where they can live sans shame or effort . . .Enjoyed, Andrea. Andrea Dietrich January 27, 2022 at 12:14 PM whatever, Rico. I wish the governors of the "free states" would run for president!

Victor Buhagiar January 27, 2022 at 9:40 AM I've just come from the bank to renew my money. Only nine years allowed. After that money with no savings. But I'm not worried. I won't live nine more years. Hugs. Andrea Dietrich January 27, 2022 at 12:15 PM I think we will all be in the same boat by then!! you never know though . You might live more than nine more years!!

Tom Cunningham January 27, 2022 at 8:43 AM Can't be much worse than the UK at the moment. We're like a rudderless ship with an idiot for a captain.lol. Tom Andrea Dietrich January 27, 2022 at 12:16 PM The whole world kind of the same.

Kim Rodrigues January 27, 2022 at 7:58 AM So awful that politicians care not for the people they are ruling where they should be serving…or perhaps they are serving…up violence, drugs, slavery of children, pollution. Who would think the US would be like Gotham City of Batman fame with no superhero. Andrea Dietrich January 27, 2022 at 12:17 PM Lots of crime everywhere, but chicago, Ill and CA, OH MY.
