farewell

Farewell  I'm tired of Portugal this small country, not bigger than a hamlet in Spain their worldview is what  is seen from an Olive cops  small-minded  and deceitful, bewildering   where the Arabic influence lingers  decapitated by Christianity  I have family in Spain who read Cervantes  I don't know why it could be they are working-class they value me as an elder in their clan I even have a brother  I have never met he lives in Chicago  the whisper is he is a gangster The Portuguese is based on  avoiding the truth at all cost No matter how long you live in this fantasy land they will treat  a foreigner with hidden contempt Yes, it is time to leave this country of sheepherders and lawyers where the people still hanker for the days of dictatorship
