Over the rhetoric and beating of breasts,

spare a second thought for the sister,

the brother, the father, the mother,

dead or damaged by the hated other,

the mother-fucker in his heaven’s ticket waistcoat.

 

There but for the grace of someone’s God go I,

ours is but to do or die for gross and evil distortions

while you (we) liberal fools, become the tools,

the useful idiots of the Fabulous Bakroaoui Brothers’

band of bombers in their bid for hairless houris.

 

And the last Trump is no more than hot air, over there

(Over There! Oh the yanks are coming, the yanks are coming)

where they’ll vote in the man with ridiculous hair,

while over here (over here, oh the wogs are coming, the wogs are coming)

where we’ll vote for the man who plays our hurdy-gurdy fear.

 

Pin your answer to the donkey with an X,

in this Blind Man’s B(l)uff,

let’s join the Totentanz

to our bloody doom.

You're surrounded by water, a 22 mile wide moat and your portcullis is already just ajar.

 

Here, we are surrounded by shit.

We ask ourselves, should I take the bus or is it better to walk?

We ask ourselves, will this extra exercise make us healthy?

We ask ouselves. will the guy on the till at Lidl blow me to Kingdom come next week?

We ask ourselves, what country are we in when we visit certain areas of our cities.

We ask ourselves, why did we give protection and benifits so readily?

We ask ourselves, why are we made to feel these dreadful un-PC thoughts?

We ask ourselves, who will save us from these devils?

and of course we ask we ask ourselves, why?

Nope, I'm in Spain.

And I don't believe Merkel is at fault for her invitation to Syrian refugees. Bakaraoui is a Moroccan name. Most of the Brussels network have been there for years and years. I resent the way political figures on both sides make capital out of the misery of the victims or our fear of the extremists. As for the Brexit stay or go factions, their misappropriation of this event is just despicable.

I assumed you were in UK-land, sorry.

I also think Merkel is getting a lot of unnecessary crit about migrants, but she had to expect something. I don't understand why she seems to be made into a hate object particularly in Spain. I know she is being blamed for the economic sirtuation there, but it seems to me Spain is a lot better shape than some Euro-states, although I do have some sympathy for Podemos's aims.

As for, "The Brexit Show" it is just another example of greed vs xenophobia. Nothing new really. I guess it's political Hokey-cokey: In-and-out-in-and-out-shake-it-all-about wink

For the folks in Belgium they have enjoyed a pretty free lifestyle and culture, despite a high level of Moroccan and Turkish and other North African immigrants. It will be hard to adapt to these new threats, but I guess after the pains they suffered in WW2 under Nazi rule they will find their way around the problems. Due to the country's history, they are pretty good at that actually.

I think its unfair to question the Belgian security guys so harshly. Unfortunately they will toughen up and I know they can be very heavy when pushed.

It is so sad the European dream of a united continent seems to be under attack from so many angles, again those old devils, Greed and Xenophobia.

Cheers

Ed

This could be stopped.  If certain politicians, religious leaders, business leaders and whoever else pulls the strings actually cared about people, in Syria, Belgium, Turkey...everywhere and anywhere, they could stop this.  Not all of it, maybe, but they could cripple the funding at least.  But they won't.  And yes, if we all cared enough, we'd be on the streets threatening revolution if they don't.  But we're not.

I don't know.  I just don't bloody know.

my thoughts are with the innocent, guilty only of being poor and desperate. My thoughts are Boris and Trump do what they do -for no good reason but personal gain and that is enough.

Gave me the chills, Ewan. Wish I had a wand to make what seems to be our next president go away. A lot of us are not liking what's happening here. It's like the rising of the idiots decided to speak up. The gun lovers and the haters. Excellent post.

The fear is real.  We all think it, but few have courage to express it.  I remember the Cruise Missile crisis when Reagan came to power.  I get the same sense of forboding with the latest offering from 'the land of the free (don't make me laugh) etc.

Your poem is not only hard hitting, but worth reading again and again.  For me, the sign of good writing.   Thank you.
