2 years and I had written in romantic delusion a momentary lapse of reason though the blinders were closed, I was never truly blind Love and hope, that merely "petered out" 2 years of the month of May "Maj" as Karel wrought, err, wrote Ah tragedy, nay, wait! tragedy? The Month of May Trilogy has turned to.. Ahh victory, yay! sweet victory to the promise of a brighter future of a love and lovers MORE pronounced! A Flight, Flee this land and shake, shirk, scruff, scrap, scrape off the dust of this place. Though it is never, nor not a sure thing the coming weeks will say. And what of this place? What will come? Its easy to see folly and the weapful reaping of their own seed. Greed! Selfishness! Lust! These and thus Laska defined is Love, without trust! But fear not, that is only half of the tale Economic treason and a country for sale. Weep, Reap, your votes and what your hands have sown With Bloated Ballot, you've built a new yet rundown modern day Rome! A Senate, ah Senate, rape by the dozen sell your judgeship and judgement for cash to a friend, the highest bidder or to your cousin! True, sad said truth and more much more Bribes, as witnessed, with my own eyes ears, I hear, doth heard the wealthy folly and reap tears A Bloating Boasting pawn of a rich man can't hold his tongue government contracts for unneeded Post Offices Distributes Distribution Warehouses $$$, Waste by the ton! And as for the people... Revolution will come as the local wealthy sell out stash their fortune... and RUN you can hear the rumors, now on the streets protesters in vans, blasting music, national anthem and banners for the span. Choppers circle overhead lazy cheap police paid at $1000 per month stand on the corners doing nothing as if the public has the courage to be Just! these are the warning signs there will be change should/would/could, no, the modal is MUST! The working class pay higher taxes seeing wages cut 10-20%, salaries eaten by the economic masses all to protect upper middle management with... Money to wipe their asses. So, sip, swallow, spit or chew this is the hand dealt by you. For the family, HAH! family as if you knew 70% divorce rate and new marriages are few Men cheat and women run looking for husbands, selling sex for money or just for fun. Friends Friends, lets all be friends multiple partners, hoping to land one wins. But men are cheap and the women cheaper suicides amount, domestic abuse and the grim reaper. Pedophiles run free, if a legal 15 year old isn't eager try the choir 13, lose your job, drive a taxi, if its easier. Ah Prague, sweet Praha Czech it out your tourist profile for sex tourism astounds this is your freedom, this is what you've made of yourself. Communism Collapsed this is what you bought with your Capitalist Clout! A God fearing nation? No, its a God vacant sensation enjoy your revolution and your destruction by/with, and for your pork eating snouts. But this is not to say... I must admit, I still love this land, its beauty in all its disarray But needless to say, it may be time to leave Love beckons me onward... and I'm afraid, dear Praha, Come Hell and High Water Come What May God and Man Fear Your Future as for me... There are Greener Pastures and I cannot stay. |

Well Kenneth you sure have cut right into the core of the whole scene and exposed the truth. It would be hard for me to argue with you on most of what you've written. I'm assuming you're paralleling it with the States? Many many things to consider in these troublesome times. Like you say change is a MUST but is it possible??? That's the trillion dollar bailout question. Good write! Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |
