Our World Today
The priest is a pervert
The policeman is a criminal
The clown is a serial killer
The politician is a grifter
The poet is a crazy drunk
The minister is a con man
The model is anorexic
The children are targets
The senator refuses to take action
The Imam is a terrorist
The baseball player doesn’t speak English
The teacher’s books have been banned
The doctor is under threat of arrest
The gun dealer is a model citizen
The Speaker of the House must ask permission
The elected representative isn’t who he says he is
The colleges are on lock down
The lawyers are in jail
The Judge is on vacation

😂 Good to laugh Phil, otherwise.... Large parts of your picture can be pasted on a few places I can think of (no names...) partly because they feel impelled to slavishly follow 'the greatest economy in the world.'
Do you mean China? Seriously, some of this will fit other countries as well, but all of it together is a slice of Americana. Thanks for your comments, Dave.
And of the UK Phil.

so pinpoint, acute
especially:
'The gun dealer is a model citizen'
(people seldom realise, just
how many guns are in circulation
in USA
and how such a small percentage
create all the issues
and yet, how the very existence
of all those decent citizens
that practice safe gun handling
and ownership, processes
keep the government, from getting
too ambitious...)
an important write, dear Poet
