While you're romanticizing the setting sun,
And conjugating all the figures of speech
Such a metaphorical red orb produces,
Allow your eyes to wander over
To the duck,
Waddling westward.

Observe his tail feathers.
Notice how preened and coiffed they are,
With a tinge of midas gold.
See how the breeze gently whips
The wispy wafting plumes,
Swaying right to left,
Exposing its avian chute.

Look,
All you who gaze upon the re-minted
El Presidente,
Donaldo, Don Come Mierda,
Who does indeed have the uncanny resemblance of
The East End of a Duck Walking West.

Canada is renaming the Great Lakes.

Lake Superior..........Lake Canada

Lake Ontario............Lake Ontario (stays)

Lake Erie...................Lake John A. Macdonald

Lake Huron..............Lake Jacques Cartier

Lake Michigan........Lake Trudeau (that should **** him off... but we
                                   know we mean Pierre, not his bonehead son)

Lake Champlain....Lake Quebec (although not a Great Lake, the
                                 orange guy wanted to make it a Great Lake back
                                 in 2018).

We have our own cartographers.
Gimme the Sharpie.

Watching news.
Being speechless and sad.
Humans you are?
Humans without humanity.
How can you go on attacking
right before the promise of ceasefire.
Innocent innocent children.
Abandoned by other humans, human rights.


Monsters planting seeds of hate to be surprised when little monsters are born.

Hour by hour, it grows grimmer
For the dwindling choir's shimmer:
LIES IN PROSE devour the throng—
Idiots applaud, forgetting song.

Few are left who stand unshaken,
So the tune is little taken.
Worse to come, the path is dire—
The world’s gone mad, bereft of fire.


In Russian:

Час от часу всё не легче
Поредевшей стайке певчей:
ПРОЗА ЛЖИ всё поглотила —
Рукоплещут ей дебилы.

Не дебилов очень мало,
Так что песнь почти пропала.
Дальше будет только хуже —
Мир на голову не дюжий.

A bandit’s just a brute at best.
A politician, sharp and sly,
Is like a purulent abscess,
Destroying roots as others die.

A fool alone could place their trust
In tyrants posing as the wise,
Who open doors to lies unjust,
And welcome butchers in disguise.


In Russian:

Сравнение двух видов преступности

Бандит — обычный недоумок.
Страшней политик — он умней:
Преступности даёт он в сумме
Гораздо больше, гробя пней.

Лишь пень убогий может верить
Фашистам в облике вождей,
Их лжи открывши настежь двери,
Впуская позже палачей.

I’m simply worried about the cruelty of nature,
Or perhaps about the carelessness of humans...
The fires,
The scorched homes,
The injured people.
Could I write about birds and animals at a time like this?
I don’t think so, because they too die,
They too turn to ash.
A single city can be entirely consumed by fire,
And our efforts prove meaningless.

Let us all plant a tree
To help save Earth
Less pollution
No global warming
No disasters
Do care.

Have you considered,
AI might not be outpacing us,
We as a people,
Might just be slowing down.

Becoming more reliant,
On robotics,
That we've made so many,
Our mistakes are catching up to us.

If your vying for change in Gaza you could start by feeding their women and children ...

Why believe?
Too many, way way way too many
Have unwavering faith
In feckless politics and so forth.
A marginalized few benefit.

The median line.
Below this line lies 50% of us.
Not their fault. Genetics, etc.
Going down from the line,
Things only get worse.
And because of age and nurture,
Liars, thieves, conmen, predators, schemers, lowlifes, maggots, mysogynists, bigots, racists get elected.
Age and Ages undid
England, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, all of the Middle East, Africa, the U.S.A...... and now.... Canada.
Egoists, Idiots, Ejits, Fools, A-Holes, Harlequins, Clowns, Ventriloquists....
Are running... Ruining  my world,
Relegating us.

White, black, green, and red,
Waving a flag.
Let the world know
There is a right to be alive—
The people of Palestine have,
In their own olive land.
