Back to normal
The festivities are over, and the morning news
is about the war in Ukraine, we are told how successful
their army is shooting down 13 drones and killing a Russian in a boat.
Regarding the ongoing slaughter in Gaza, it was hardly mentioned, one assumes it was too grisly a show
so early in the morning.
On another news channel, the boat is now a warship, and many sailors were killed
the Zelinsky regime has changed the orthodox Christmas 7th of January to Europe's calendar to the applause of UE who takes delight in such matter
President Zelinsky, who has not been elected to this job,
insist he is winning the war against Russia,
his view is
echoed by Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO chief, acting as the USA's errand boy, and when a new NATO chief is elected, he has a job lined up as the governor of Oslo's State-directed bank.
So, this is what you receive when you play ball,
a top job
the king's medal in gold, and the applause from a
psychopathic press, who never fails to mention his athletic prowess, an expert terrain runner, he sprints where rabbits hesitate to run
I knew his father, an able politician, in Norway there
are political families (dynasties)
who direct the outcome of elections, and they are not even Jewish.
The people do not interfere in the political discourse
as long as beer comes in tall cans and is available
at all hours.
As we get older, things become important
the black cook in the cafe was back to work,
she had been
criticized for behaving like an angry black woman
I defended her
not easy to be a cook in a hot kitchen
my portion of bacalao was enough to take
half of it home for my evening meal
