An Orange Mussolini

An Orange Mussolini

An orange Mussolini,

                Strutting,

                                Spouting,

                                                Lying;

Stirring up the rage

                Topping up his bank account.

Thinks he’s a Lamborghini,

                Overstuffed,

                                Puffed up,

                                                Vain

Full of self-importance

                Not satisfied with any amount.

Opher – 5.10.2024

The world has become a scary place.

Humans have two choices – the helping hand or kick in the teeth.

The whole world seems to have adopted a hatred of teeth.

Instead of the selfish, arrogant and greedy narcissists we have to remember the selfless and compassionate.

If only we had a few more Mandelas, Martin Luther Kings, Schindlers, Orwells and Ghandis.

Instead with have a bunch of self-serving fascists – Trump, Musk, Farage and Johnson.

We fought a world war to rid ourselves of this extreme right-wing  ideology with its tribalism, belligerence, division and hate.

It’s back!

Taiwan – What next?

We’ve had Russia exploding with the threat of nuclear holocaust, now we have China looming as a nuclear threat.

Are all human beings just too mad to survive? We seem hellbent on violence, war, threats and competition!!

Can you imagine a world without barriers, tribes, races, religions and belligerence? A world built on cooperation, equality and trust. A world not run by greed and the lust for power. What a wonderful world it could be!
