Stars and Stripes

Just one poet's view

Stars and Stripes

 
 
(Request your 2024 election ballot) an advert asking expats to vote for their country
and as I myself am an expat 
I have to admit, I did enter all my credentials 
even knowing that my information 
wouldn't be excepted 
I was a fake 
an imposter 
after all I'm not American
and I've only ever been on American soil 
for a few weeks in my entire life 
but I did feel the need to try my luck 
If for nothing else but for pity
after all one less vote for Trump 
would surely make the world greater? 
when the computer finally refused my application 
I went to have a long hot bubble bath 
to find my serenity 
and as I lay there in the comfort 
of my surrounding candle light
and my generous helping of merlot 
I couldn't help but think
about the honest American people 
the ones who really want to make America great again
I wonder if they will ever
be able to bathe again in serenity?

Pink Floyd animals.
Trumpies just the latest asshole model their putting out. What's scary is what's to come, in countries all over the world.
Fear and loathing my friend. Great fear and loathing

Thank you dearest Rory for your fabulous response most appreciated. It's just my view of course but we have Americans living in my town that left the first time he was President and they are so happy here. 🌹 The world has certainly come to shit in this decade. 💙

Hello Shirley and Rory...

Please tell me if Communism or Socialism works why are people fleeing those situations to seek Asylum?

What Country has ever succeeded food scarcity?

 A 9 Volt Battery in some places is $18...

Some people can't afford a Home and a Car...

If you're an American right now half the Country isn't getting any help...

I don't know maybe someone who wants people to be able to afford things like a home or a car may appreciate being called that...

Why are some people and other Countries say they were better off under President Trump?

Why don't you ask them?

Great write!

Thank you for sharing?

They haven't seemed asylum they wouldn't be entitled to Italian citizenship for at least 10 years and they are old, they just got fed up with all the violence and the divides, I see them nearly every day and all I can tell you is , I'm not allowed to mention trump because it upsets them, thanks for being such a good sport and like I said its just my views of what i see on the media but it's damn hard to believe anything but bad because I saw his behavior in my own country. A dangerous man if you are not on his side. I don't want you to quote me on this but let's see, world war 3? Of he gets his title back? ❤️

We want people to be able to afford Vacations, and not have more money in their pockets...

What we've wanted the whole time...

We want to be able to go to Universities, Parades and other events we Celebrate and know that we're safer...

Not everyone is a Celebrity here with Body Guards...

People would still be alive under Trump...

Tell that to the parents whose lives are forever changed because, their child was minding their own business and now they're dead...

If that makes me an a@$ h%&#*...

I'm the biggest one you know...

It's treason, it's criminal what this Administration is doing...

Why don't you really Educate yourself before you cuss at me and people who agree with me?

So people like me who doesn't trust Doctors, hates Hospitals....

Only goes when it's an Emergency has to pay for everyone who should have had a Reserved Room because, they're there all the time?

​​​​​​They get on a Prescription now they're20 different medications due to all the side effects...

Not my fault...

I don't have interest in making big Pharma rich that is only trying to harm me for their pocketbook...

Other people should be able to do that if that's what they want to do...

It shouldn't be mandatory...
