The Lay of the Land

The lay of the land Ramadan is going green; eat cabbage stew before dawn and leave the cattle feel safe from men with long knives I think of Israel, a none Muslim state, where the Jews are demonstrating against the fanatics, who are, at heart Fascists; the wish is, for them, to extend to lend a hand to the long-suffering Palestinians. In Europe, people are tired of the proxy war between Russia and the USA; they are finally seeing Ukraine for what it is, a fascist country that, with the help of NATO Illegally grabbed power; they are wrong to think that NATO fights for them. It is with sorrow I see Finland joining the NATO outfit that will build bases near the Russian border and sow Discontent in a nation of thousands of lakes that have lived In peace, with the larger neighbour, since 1954. One wonders when Germany will break free of chains Saddled with the burden of the past, weighing them down. The French are marching in the streets, protesting to the curtailing of their right; but it is a pointless struggle unless they – the people- declare a general strike till Macron’s regime falls.
