This Is Not America
“A little piece of you, the little piece in me will die.
This is not a miracle, for this is not America.
Blossom fails to bloom this season.
Promise not to stare too long.
This is not America, for this is not the miracle.
There was a time, a storm that blew, so pure.
For this could be the biggest sky, and I could have the faintest idea.
For this is not America. Sha-la-la-la-la”
– David Bowie (This is not America) | Travel Quote of the Day
