Nature Fascists

Those who believe in the sanctity of nature, survival of

the fittest and so on, tend to be on the political spectrum

right winged and living off inherited money and believing

 it is  a right for an eagle’s rig to kill a rabbit
and they are

right, and of people on horseback pursuing a fox until it

can do no more running and is killed by man`s best friend,

the dog that lacks empathy unless it is a learned behaviour

 It is a right to tame
nature but not eradicate it because we

do we well not to harm our future, but farming is needed

despite what the learned thinks cattle have to graze to give

milk and meat. The mule has gone and the tractor has taken

its place but without sheep and cows grazing in peace and

not knowing its purpose, the countryside would be a place of

fear and wildflowers enjoyed by botanist and goats.

It is the fascist agenda that is scaring the right to
exterminate

what nature lovers think is not worthy of their ideal.

over fifty

Over fifty

When you are over fifty divorced and want to meet a woman

– there may of them about- they all have a daughter who will

not let your late romance in peace and you will always play

the second fiddle the phone will ring late at night some trivial

drama you have to take an interest the daughter who doesn`t

 care about your feeling it is her mother`s love she have to make

sure she is not forgotten by the beast of a man she has met,

and demand unspeakable sex acts my mother has to perform.

Yet they need your money for education and often for doing

nothing and sleeping to twelve and expecting to be fed.

Middle aged man all women of over fifty have a daughter who

who will never accept you as a dad, but only as a provider.

The sparrows just like us

He fell from the dry, hot sky first the male

sparrows, it could be because he was older than here

and had developed a habit of hunting near

the large chimneys at the chemical factory and it was

up to the young widow, she had been a fledgling

the year before to feed and bring up five hungry chicks

and if the weather was not cooling she to would

folds her wings and fall on the bonnet of a passing car

and snakes and crows would be moving in.

The famous actor Omar Sharif has passed away, he will

 be remembered but as
the demise of a family

of sparrows will like us be forgotten not be missed in

the lottery of life 

Angela Merkel

Angela  Merkel

I have seen Angela Merkel naked it was on a nude beach

in East Germany and she was a young  communist

member of the party, the only way one had to go if not

being stuck in a factory job. Angela back then had

a rounded body not quite Ruben but a body that had in

had the frame of a middle-class Germanic sexuality.

She had by then staked her political future and she had

no time for suitors which belonged to no party?

And she did right when East Germany went into freefall

she was there taking note and agreeing with the west.

But Merkel is history less, she has disregarded her past

yet  her socialism instinct must give her sleepless nights

Greece cannot be bought by German Marks and they are

not disciplinarian by nature that can be cured by

a bracing North Sea beach. 

planets

Planets

Pluto the charming little planet has got snow

not that anyone is going there soon it is good

to know how useless information pleases us.

a cat is not wise it only makes us feel good

to think Pluto is a cartoon dog and not a cat.

The grapes on the vines still need another month

before they can be harvested and that is ok by me

it is a beautiful day and far away from war,

treachery and the vanity of man.

Cold and alone Pluto can hang there as a faded

lampshade while we should try to discover more about

ourselves and the world we live in. 

The Watershed

The Watershed

There was a time when 45, I thought life had passed me by

I had spent too much time seeing the night train leave.

Through the rain, soaked train windows saw people reading

some looked into space and there were those who tried

not to cry. My friends had drifted away and my old mate

Trond had found God and to think we sat all night long

talking about books and in the morning we went out in his

boat fishing drinking cold beer and falling asleep as spring

the sun danced on the blue water in the fjord and wind from

the dark mountain didn’t blow.

The best women too lost patience and took the tram home

to mum and dad waiting for you to grow up.

At 45, your parents begin dying the impossible happens and

you are a floating iceberg lost in a glass of whisky.

And just as wheels on suitcases are invented you grow up

polish you shoes and find that little cabin in a hidden
valley

it has a leaking roof and has been waiting just for you.

The raciak issue

The Racial Issue

I know nothing about being black but when black people

speak about childhood poverty I sense empathy I too know

how it feels like  being dismissed

Once I was invited to a birthday party by people who were

serious, I had nothing to give so my mother gave me two

tins of sardine in olive oil and the had very colourful

labels. I still hear the laughter it caused and still stings me

like being attacked by a beehive.

I`m not a nice person if I go into a shop and the staffs talk

into their phone I make my displeasure loudly  I dislike

being ignored meekness left me years ago.

So I`m trying to say people can only discriminate against

you if feeling inferior. My wife, born in Kinshasa in Congo

does not understand black Americas struggle with slavery,

but it is up to the black Americans to rise above it.
