Greenland's American future

Greenland’s American future

In Nuuk everybody lives in festive houses made of wood, green, blue and red looks homily in the winter landscape
Thei are the people who speaks English, building 
A dry dock for submarines, that will protect the sea from intruders, like the Russians and big code fish. The Greenlander will live in nice apartments 
That have lifts, naturally the have to pay rent 
There will be more shops selling imported food 
Soft bread and, of course hamburgers for all
There will be bars with dancing girls included 
The local can get drunk and been thrown into the snow
Some locals will lose their apartment leave in the street with dogs and the hapless will be wrapped in blanket given by the Danes, American tourist will come looking at the filthy streets and feel at home
The transformation will be complete, the local language forgotten, spoken only by the very old Innuits, naturally no one speaks Danish anymore 
Except for the local doctor a despicable socialist 
This is the future for people who become victim of super power, who believes in their exceptionalism
