Reasons to leave Mexico
Cheeky Missy said:
Well. That\'s a macabre and ghastly list of ghoulish behaviors dealt out. Nothing like letting the demons run the show, I guess. Excellently rendered with superb imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Reasons to leave Mexico
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Truth. And here’s the kicker: Who arms those cartels? The U.S. of A! It turns out there is a lawsuit currently before the U.S. Supreme Court, where Mexico is suing American gun companies, including Smith & Wesson, for designing and selling firearms that end up in the hands of drug cartels. They claim that over 70% of the weapons used by these cartels originate from the United States.
Just read this in the news today. “God bless the USA,” right? We manufacture and sell the guns, then impose hefty tariffs on those countries we sell them to, all while they grapple with drug and gang violence fueled by our products.
Forgive me, anyone who isn’t American and is reading this. I am so disgusted with my country that I can hardly articulate it constructively—other than through poetry. But disgusting...that I find it all.
Now, back to your poem, well done my friend. You not only brought up a major humanitarian issue going on in Mexico, you also posted it on a day where some major news about the USAs impact on those cartels is becoming more and more clear and obvious. Timely and urgent. Well done,. friend. This gets a fave. 🌹👏

A powerful write in brutal clarity the point is made. Where there is poverty life is cheep and so it is not just Mexico but much of central America that is desperate for relief. Great message sent.

A horrific account of the depravity metered out by some in our species. Hardly surprising that those likely to be on the receiving end want to escape. Hard hitting Tobani. Have a peaceful Tuesday dear poet.

Tobani you completed the cycle well. In this poem the cycle of nature in seasons and so it is with life as well in metaphor this poem should speak to us all. Very nice with the emphasis on the company we have throughout the cycle.

Isn’t it strange how things can go full circle and how we can eventually wish for what we once feared. A fine poem dear Tobani.

Hahaha! There\'s nothing like common sense which herein is rendered to effect with a twinkle of good humor to soften the reality until the imagery daintily trimming it seems like powdered sugar as the poignant facts hang, suspended. Thank you for sharing.
