It was just too pretty...

The place was so beautiful.

It was a working ranch.

Fruit trees were the epitome of harvests.

Americ insisted on apple trees. 

Being planted on all new farms

Whereas Oranges were the source

Of non-scurvy necessities in the south

Our place had pear trees and olives.

As well as its own vineyard

Walking my small feet along 

The rose bush with their smell

Till the path hit the Blvd.

There was once a train. 

And electric cars

As well as old stagecoach stops.

The resort next door

Sprang out of the need for people

To recover from major illnesses

One of the relatives

Opened it up. 

Without permission

Where they had already begun

To congregte

All those old beautiful buildings

Were so beautiful

The park downtown

Had a church and bank

As well as a mini city hall

Where one could find a real Abogado

Doctors were also encouraged. 

But someone came along.

When the family were visiting

Cutting down the trees 

That were their income.

Canned or glass fruit

Was welcomed throughout

America and Europe

They also pulled up the roses

And the floors of the buildings

Dirt floors is what the old ladies

Came home from their trip. 

To the very ones who knew 

They were the real owners.

Now there is a jackass.

Who claims to be Mexico?

And that gives him the right.

To do whatever he wants 

To a gringo

Estupido

The law is on our side.

And East Los Angeles 

Is not Mexico.

His daughter will regret.

Getting herself hired at my place.

When the law does come in

All will be going to prison.

Including their friends

Who have sat there allowing

This waste to occur.

Tearing down buildings is not allowed.

Nor is putting up things to gain income.

Defrauding someone in order to gain money

Is highly illegal

As is taking someones personal property.

Jimmy does not know the law.

He only puts his name on top. 

Of someone else's certificate

And then gives others the impression.

That they are also allowed

 to use the same piece of paper

Such as the Santa Croci's

What a phony name

That one is worse than 

Cardinale

Really, they don't even try. 

To cover over that they are

Illegals scamming the government.

Which gets a little bit upset?

When their men go missing

I was explaining this to my friends.

Who were giving me a treat?

At another place that is special

The southern beach resorts.

Is not unknown to me. 

We were resting on the beach.

In a tent with those rented beach beds

And chairs waiting for lunch to be brought.

When a UFO was spotted

I had seen it arrive.

I was also explaining about those. 

Chinese container ships carrying

More than they claim.

Such as handmade items from Mexico

Really products of China

Old joke!

It came out of nowhere.

Looking closer at it

With my phone after 

I snapped its picture.

I was telling them. 

That it was not really 

A big flying object 

From space 

But a balloon

Look it is just a balloon

They were running though

Towards the Hotel

Without me.

I had not heard the quiet words.

Get up, get out of the way.

Suddenly I knew what their problem.

Was, and got up from my nice beach lounge.

Immediately I collapsed onto the sand.

Without my walking stick

I was useless with my legs.

Having been pulled out paralyzed.

From the waist down

I had gotten them to move.

But they were very limited.

In strength

I could not stand up properly. 

Either without support

Carelessly someone had picked up. 

The stick as he moved out of the way.

Of the spy ship

Coming towards us

I was covered in sand and crawling.

But eventually I hit sidewalk.

Whereupon they found the strength

To get upright 

There a fence runs along. 

The front of the place

Again, I was still moving at a crawl.

When? I was grabbed.

For god's sake can't you move faster

They must have seen you.

Recorded you by now.

Crying from fright

I was unable to respond

Just sitting in the shadows

Where I was dropped 

And shuddering at the near 

Encounter I had had

What if they had guns

What if they had been shooting

At us instead of filming us?

It was not a good day

Nor did I have a good night?

At the emergency room

Where I was taken to figure out

What was really wrong with me.

She can't walk right.

that is because she has a broken back.

What else could go wrong?

Not getting back before they leave?

Or knowing too much ahead of time

About what will occur?

If the world goes forward?

A glass wall is what Europe has. erected

Instead of an Iron curtain

That Russia put up to protect. its own

Europe has put up a thing. 

Where they can see what the other guy

Is doing while they wait.

For his demise ....

It was so beautiful

Russia was like a jewel

Everyone said so and yet

They allowed to be destroyed

Then they went back to inspect

The gem that was still there

Inside the war torn country

Too beautiful

No fair

After Germany had suffered 

So much damage and defeat

Destroy the beauty

They are at it again

Destroying what was once beautiful

Even Moldova

One of the few places

With standing churches

Is now defunct.

With its government 

Collapsing 

For what?

So the world can watch

Them shoot each other down?

While China has plans for our missile sites?
