Buzzards flying over Hong Kong – waiting to pick the bones.

There seemed to be a lot of buzzards waiting to pick at the carcass of democracy. I’m expecting to see a large number flying over Westminster soon!!

Hong Kong – the view from the Peak.

The smog wasn’t too bad.

The serenity was very Zen-like.

Chi Lin Nunnery Gardens Hong Kong

A sanctuary of peace and beauty.

Chi Lin Nunnery – Gardens in Hong Kong

Serene and peaceful in the heart of bustling Hong Kong. Beauty.

Hong Kong – sliding into harbour in the early morning

City, dragons and mountains!!

Approaching Hong Kong in the morning mist!

It was a strange way to visit the city but quite spectacular!!

Reworking the past. Erase what you don’t like.

Poetry – Goons

Goons

They follow orders without question,

Shooting their own in the back.

They don their uniforms, turn off their minds

And always hunt in packs.

They’re the goons.

The bask in their power.

They kill with impunity

While people cower.

They learn to torture rape and gas

Which becomes their stock in trade.

Stand proud in lines, in uniform

In the big parades.

They’re the goons.

The bask in their power.

They kill with impunity

While people cower.

Without these heartless minions

The world would be a better place.

These tools of the tyrants

A disgrace to the human race.

They’re the goons.

The bask in their power.

They kill with impunity

While people cower.

Opher – 10.4.2021

Everywhere you look around the world you see them. They are dressed in body armour and are armed to the teeth. They are the ones who beat up protestors, who go around in the night rounding people up. They take them to underground dungeons to torture and degrade as a warning. They bury the bodies.

You see them everywhere – where-ever where people are fighting for justice or to oppose a tyrannical regime. In South America, Nigeria, Hong Kong, China, North Korea, the USA, Myanmar, Israel, it’s the same faceless brutal state thugs – the Stormtroopers, torturers and tools of the despot – the ones shooting unarmed protestors – and enjoying it.

Without these nasty arrogant little pieces of scum no oppressor can ever hold power.

They strut about in their uniforms thinking they have power.

The goon is the enemy of us all – the expression of fascism, the long arm of oppression.

Hong Kong – The Wong Tai Sin Temple – photos

Wong Tai Sin Temple

Following the peace and serenity of the Chi Li Nunnery this temple was a bustle of activity. A totally different experience – yet just as interesting.

To start with, it was packed with tourists (mainly Chinese) yet worship seemed to going on amid it all.
