En fal, falsk å hal en
med lite bevänt
trots det just vann valen
är nu President!
Trump alltför väl speglar
de oengagerade
de många som dreglar
helt oinformerade
Hur de bara drar o rycker
fantiserar, tror o tycker!
Ain’t he stark raving mad
with all his plied lies
at his core an old cad
seen his dead soul eyes?
How he aggrandizes
soliciting ovation
how he polarizes
offering false salvation
Thus Dear Leader unhinged
keeps enthralling those fringed
The periodic table
like Life itself no fable
so with graceful passion
Anna lives compassion
in her pursuit quite able
Dåraktig på höga vågor
spolad upp på enslig strand
utan koll på Livets Frågor
fastnade i fjärran land
Förtvivlad att ha söndrat sitt band
med sitt ljuva sköna fosterland
Completely digitally bedecked
what are we but self-absorbed moles?
Those eerie screens vacuum in effect
up our common sense, minds & souls
Coltish individuality
bestows us instead internment
loss of unique personality
while takes away our discernment
Leaves us puttering in putrescence
to flounder in foggy fluorescence
+)
-bedecked = decorated
-putrescence = the quality of rotting and becoming putrid
Don’t just ‘from the hip’ denounce
including instantly deflect
Stifle the urge to pronounce
first check facts, only then reflect
Of course if we’re stuck mentally lazy
inducements to change shall appear hazy
If you’re a skilled consumer clone
humanity’s capstone
just can’t leave well enough alone
always some lack to bemoan
so alert, eager to be bewitched
by next trend or gadget to be pitched
Om hyser förtvivlat agg
med tankar att få klå o slå
sök skyndsamt finna en knagg
att kunna hänga av den på
Undvik att genast klandra andra
försök först att förstå varandra
+)
knagg = eller knagge: träpinne eller dylikt i vägg att hänga något på
A shopping bag not from Biskaia
or from somewhere in Himalaya
But from a place of deep boast
on the sparkling Baltic coast
from a tap room in Liepaja”
+)
-Biskaia = Bay of Biscay
-boast = here: source of ancestral pride
Riga straddles the mighty river
for all vitality it’ll give her
She strides on heels stiletto
elegantly arrayed
Drools over Rigoletto
cultured through her free trade
Riga shows spires & beauty
from centuries of booty
+)
mighty river = The Daugava forms deep in Russia and flows out in to the Bay of Riga
