Notes About The Poem

Dr. Kissinger was and is the proverbial 'enigma wrapped in a riddle.' The man, even at 100, is an endless source of fascination -- and inspiration. 

Sir Henry Kissinger

Yesterday, May 27, Sir Henry Kissinger turned one-hundred
    It's now been forty-six years since he held public office

  His astute, 'realpolitik' analysis is as bold as ever
    He opened up China (1971) ~ yet the man is cautious!

Henry is an interesting character Gershon. My father was supportive of him and Nixon in the earlier years. Although he was quoted as saying " Who Controls the food supply controls the people, who controls the energy controls whole countrys, who controls money controls the whole world." Now sadly he is known as a Globalist wanting to bring in the New World Order.... PS he changed his name from Heinz to Henry...

Yes Churchill is still 'round. Hasn't lost any weight in the grave, from what my sources tell me. ~ And enquiring minds want to know! lol
