16 HOT DOGS
My English verses have become repetitive refrains,
every EN PLO11, and every flight, and all the cars and trains,
the variation is too little, this world needs to fight back,
do it not for us but for our kids, with love and bits of luck.
Keep your position in one line,
don’t give an inch of ground,
as I was yours and you were mine,
this is another round.
My English verses have become some poetry of sorts,
I do not know what is the term in European courts,
but then again, Europe is done, the idea false,
when faced with danger and revolt its Christian past recalls
So much in common we do share,
forgetting all the rest,
if truth bites back we say "don't care,
I did it for the best!".
Ok guys, have it your way, but I do not agree,
I only said once a lie, under that plane tree,
so, I feel innocent enough compared with your hot dog
(or was hot god?),
I'll let you have your tasty meal, reach home, sleep like a log,
when I get up, I'll have a wash, get an espresso cup,
check the face book, do a few likes, caress you in your nap,
take up again the thread of songs, change the balance point,
of future more, and less of past, in florid counterpoint.
