Looking To Escape A President Trump? This Irish Island Welcomes You
My irreverent response:
Naw.. Don't flee to Ireland.
- Fight ‘in in the trenches,
- fright ‘im in the streets,
- fight ‘im in the churches,
- fight ’im in the brothels,
- if computer is your best weapon, fight 'im with that -- better'n nothin.
- fight ‘im wherever he may show his face or the face of his goons and dupes.
Count the number of places on this weary planet that have pockets of folks who fight Trump or ones such as he and more horrible by far than he:
Kurds, loving freedom most of all,
surrounded by the Islamic State and other Wahhabi
who would enslave hem, torture and kill them,
use their cunts and dicks for their own pleasure,
treat them as we treated our slaves for 400 years;
Uighurs who once had an Empire of heir own,
now at the mercy of the merciless Han
who,
learning from the West,
use “justice” and the “legal process”
to inflict horror previously unimagined;
Tibetans similarly fixed;
Bolivian coca growers, uneducated and loving freedom, precariously free
opposed by wealthy low-landers
who have the support of Uncle Sam and his CIA
and who still maintain their revolution;
13,000 Bernieites, yearning for
One who will in fact and not in fiction
lead a revolution
and sure such a leader will emerge
soon;
lost souls in South Sudan who have nothing
not even food
but have a football stadium
and who
against all odds
field a team each year to keep hope alive . . .
South Sudan Football Stadium
Naw. Stand and fight. Hil will be a good-enough place-holder until a leader emerges and
the Whole World is freed of
despicable cloying greed,
erroneously worshiped by too many
as the only hope of salvation.
In the meantime, here’s to the Irish, who have no use for us Scots anyway (clink!)
