Whom are we amusing? (October 29, 2008)

I know! We are puppets.

Whom, I am trying to figure out,

Are we amusing?

Millions of small investors in stocks lost their life savings.

At least they played a game.

 

Over two millions of civilian Iraqis have perished

Since the Bush Jr, Administration invasion in 2003.

What role have the collateral dead played?

Over two millions of Iraqis babies died

From lack of medicines and powder milk

During the economical and oil embargo of Bush Senior.

 

What role do babies play?

I know!  We are all puppets.

Whom are we entertaining?

Why the ignoramus GW Bush had agreed to lead the World?

Because he is a fool, stupid. Good reason.

Dick Cheney survived ten years of congenital heart disease.

Why did he survive destiny?

Because he had to play to perfection the Devil incarnate of the decade.

 

I know!  But why millions in Bangladesh have to die,

Every year, during the monsoon season?

Why millions in Africa have to die, every year, of famine , curable diseases and malnutrition?

Why hundreds of Chinese have to die, every day, in mining operations?

Why the rich Chinese Administration has to forget its famished citizens in the provinces?

I know!  But why the untouchables, sickly, and handicapped

Have mostly to suffer?

 

The affluent, healthy and influential are not that happy;

But why do they have to make fun at the expense of the “others”?

I know! Everyone could be playing a part.

Whom, I need to know,

Are we diverting?

Fools, jesters, and tragic-comedians dust you are.

Dust blowing in the wind.

Why can we not enjoy and be happy,

Making fun at our own expense?

Let us doubly entertain

Whoever are watching us!
