Buy a Donkey
The Sunday papers had nothing to tell
except for the usual trivia and endless
wars somewhere on the planet
As I get older and older, nothing much
is of importance, novels are good only
for taking our mind off the ennui
I used to write poetry and hoped to
publish until I realized it was of no
importance for anyone or me
Very few things in our lives are important
it does not stop wars; we are as stupid
as before the wheel.
Yesterday, I visited a donkey ranch and
thought these animals are important
when fleeing from tribal wars
We spend a set number of years here
much of it on bagatelles like work and
pay negotiations and pension reforms
When of years are over, nothing changes
except who got what of our lot, what
I can do for the future is to buy a donkey
