Our country is strong
We all know that
Said the politicians
To the diplomat
There’s no such thing
As an economic depression
Then they scurry on by
So they won’t have to gaze
Down the dark streets
Or the cold alleyways
Where America hides
Its transgressions

Nothing is immortal
Educación, reflexiones y cultura general.
Life is a patchwork of moments — laughter, solitude, everyday joys, and quiet aches. Through scribbled stories, I explore travels both far and inward, from sunrise over unfamiliar streets to the comfort of home. This is life as I see it, captured in ink and memory. Stick around; let's wander together.

Indeed! 👍😉

Deep and powerful piece Jerry. The same is mirrored here in the UK. The dark streets must be the same – a place where politicians fear to tread.
