A rootless tree—he

The United States Oracle goes into a hissy spit

Funerary mask face and no trace of decency

Demands bono-fires of public goods as offerings

 

Spirits money for veneration, veneration, vengeance

Fires of gluttony and greed on every civic occasion

Ash rain, drought and famine, again

His neo-pagan friends use their planchettes

In a popular talking-board game

Playing the market, again

What war? What peace? Will we burn the poor with again?

 

Only the United States Oracle lives the afterlife

Dia de los Muertos indeed.

"Only the United States Oracle lives the afterlife.."

A powerful poem, right there. 

The worrying thing is I keep reading articles about Xi and Putin spending huge sums of money reseaching the science of living forever. Trump's probably also looking into something similar. 

This is one occasion where you kinda hope that the Holy Grail of the secret of eternal life remains out of reach.

cheers marandina, the day of the dead. the day of his death? will it matter? bit like Thatcher. Hated her,  but when she was gone, she didn't matter. Xi? Add all those billionaires to that list. Death is the winner. That's the one constant that can't be dodged. Thank God, you might say, if you believe in god?
