Wonders Everywhere

My wife came here in 1993 To America, ‘Land of the Free’ From a place of dictatorial tyranny of greased palms and ‘yours for a fee’ The America she came to was a breath of fresh air Wonders for her to see everywhere From Disney World to Washington D.C. A country just right for her and for me… Twenty-nine years later, and it’s all gone to seed Crime’s on the rise and folks are uptight Seems that to lack values is now thought alright Wokesters remind her of Communist Ukraine Hawking worn-out ideas long flushed down the drain They say the grass is greener on the other side Here the grass is cannabis, and the country’s cockeyed

I hate to say you can say that again "Twenty-nine years later, and it’s all gone to seed" but you can.

We are in trouble Gershon. And there is too much that people cannot see. Very sad. Well done :)

Oh you’ve said a mouthful! People want to come here and destroy the land of opportunity, the blessed USA. A very sad state of affairs!

But the grass must have been fed with waste and guns rule America, children are dying, this law has become an outlaw and politicians are waist deep in waste. But where in this world is the grass greener. A very wealthy South African family we know immigrated to Australia only to discover that their millions only allowed them to become middle class citizens, they are returning to South Africa. Hugs and blessings. Jennifer.

I hear your lament, dear Gershon. It is a reflection of the deterioration that is happening world wide. But true, with the escalating rise in the number of people using rifles and the rapid loss of human values, the once glorious land has degraded into a dreaded place to live. I love your sober brooding...
