And so we look away once more. Oil, after all, is rationed now. Such unkind regards.

We never change. I have vague memories of the 1979 revolution on Tv. How the west once supported and armed a guy called Saddam, how Khomeini was courted as a media "darling" around the western capitals and hoity toity once, even how we supported the Shah.

It comes down to greed... pure & simple.

What's sad is that you're absolutely right. Disheartening, really.

I would normally like a comment, but can't sometimes, not because I don't agree with what you have said... I do.

Just that there's fucking nothing to like about it.

Great but wistful, my friend. I think we look away again…

Thanks so much. Unfortunately it benefits us to look away.

Thanks

I had another poem scheduled for today, but wrote this one over the course of this week.

Getting more and more fed up with what I am seeing happening.
