Jan Oskar Hansen Poet Blank verse

Summit 2018

The summit 2018
 
Buenos Aires was and perhaps still is a lovely city
it was here, many years ago I was thought by
a young prostitute to do the tango and other exquisite things.
Right now the city is invaded by a coterie of leaders
from all over the world carving up their interest sphere,
peace talks it is called, and that is ok if they are able
to rein in a Saudi crown prince an upstart who is a killer 
dripping of blood spoiling the carpet.
Mind, the nations that supply him with weaponry 
are guilty too for the bombing of Yemen, pity Israel is 
not on the agenda and they haven`t even got oil.
Soon the show will be over the people can take over
marching in the streets of Buenos Aires, waving flags
of protests about taxes and in the night do the tango

Phil Capitano December 23, 2018 at 5:04 AM You are so right about world politics; these leaders 'talk' about issues but I really think its a smoke screen ~ they want global domination. I just posted a poem called "If Poets Ruled The World" that fits in with this. I'd love it if you would read and comment. Namaste.
