AS VULTURES CIRCLE
A LAND WITH TWO MAJOR TASTY TONGUES
AND SOME MINOR ONES
WAITING TO DEVOUR
WHOEVER IS STUPID ENOUGH
ASSEZ STUPID GENOEG DOM
TO SPLIT THE PLACE IN THREE
WHILE 150 HEAVILY ARMED POLICE
IN AN OVERWHELMING SHOW OF FORCE
AND HELICOPTER BUZZ. BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
ARE SUMMONED BY THE BURGERMEESTER
DURING THE ICIEST WINTER IN MEMORY
TO EVICT 30 YOUNG SQUATTERS KRAKERS CLOCHARDS
FROM AN ABANDONED OLD POLICE FACILITY
IN THE HEART OF VAN DE VELDE’S ANTWERP
MAYBE IT WAS JUST NOSTALGIA
OR THIS IS THE NEW NOUVEAU SOCIALISM
WHERE SNEEUW WITjE AND THE SEVEN DWARVES
ARE KICKED OUT ON THE STREET
WHILE BELGIUM’S FIRST HEAVYWEIGHT POP POLITICIAN
‘THE FLEMISH WALRUS’ ‘DE WALRUS VAN VLAANDEREN’
WHO IRONICALLY SPEAKS NIET SLECHT FRANCAIS
CLIMBS INTO THE RING AVEC ‘DE DAPPER WAALSE PINGUIN’
WHO SPEAKS MAUVAISMENT VLAAMZE
AND FIGHTS HIM TO A DRAW
THEN ENTERS THE TV STUDIO AND CHARMS A QUIZ AUDIENCE
OF SAD GLASSY ELLENDE EYED GULLIBLE LEMMINGS
WHO UNQUESTIONINGLY SWALLOW HIS EVERY WORD
SNELLER EVEN FASTER
THAN THE ANTI-DEPRESSSSSSIVE PILLS THEY
MUST TAKE TO KEEP FUNCTIONING EVERY DAY IEDERE DAG
MUCH LESS ROCKIN TO THE LANGUAGE BARRICADES
AND THE TAAL ZEE ENTRE LES DEUX OREILLES
WHERE MULTILINGUAL VERSATILITY STRENGTH
BECOMES SOMETHING OF A WEAKNESS
IN A PERVERSE SENSE OF VICTIMIZATION
WHERE THE WALLS SEEM TO BE MOVING IN
AND THERE ARE PRESSURE EYES EVERYWHERE
IN THIS QUICKLY SHRINKING VRIJE FREE WORLD
OR, JUST MAYBE MISCHIEN, PEUT ETRE
THE GOOD PEOPLE HAVE FALLEN
UNDER THE SPELL OF SINTERKLAAS
DURING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
CAUSE THEY TRULY BELIEVE
THAT THEIR BELASTING WILL GO DOWN
AND HUN BLUES GA WEG WEG GAAN WAY GONE
IF THEY SPLIT FROM THEIR POOR, LAZY
FRENCH SPEAKING PAISONOS
WHO ONCE FORBID THEM
FROM SPEAKING THEIR OWN TAAL
AND, WHO NOW, UNDERSTANDABLY,
THOUGH RATHER LATE, C’EST PAS POSSIBLE!
HAVE DECIDED IT IS NECESSARY TO
SPEAK ANOTHER LANGUAGE IN THIS MODERN WORLD-
SACRE BLEU!!!
AND WOULD RATHER LEARN ENGLISH THAN FLEMISH…
WHAT’S NEXT, SINGING THE BLUES?
MEANWHILE A MUTANT CLASS OF HIGH FLYING
FINANCIAL FALCONS GREEDILY WATCH IT ALL
PERCHED BEHIND THEIR COMPUTER SCREENS
IN THE NEW FREE MARKET WHERE CAPITAL MOVES
ALMOST AS FAST AS LIGHT
BUT PEOPLE, ON THE GROUND, KEEP ON HITTING SOUND BARRIERS,
COLOR BARRIERS, RELIGIOUS BARRIERS, SEXUAL BARRIERS
PASSPORT, WORK PERMIT, MUSICAL EXPERIENCE? NO? GO AWAY!
AH THE JOYS OF AND BENEFITS OF SPECULATION
COCAINE, CAVIAR, CALL GIRLS,
LUXURY CARS AND BOATS AND PLANES
WHILE FOOD PRICES SOAR
AND THE POOR CAN’T AFFORD TO EAT RICE NO MORE
AS THE BIG BANKS GET BAILED OUT
LEAVING THE REST OF US TO DIVIDE AND
FIGHT FOR WHAT’S LEFT AND
QUIBBLING ABOUT WELFARE CHEATS
AND HEAD SCARVES AND WHO OWES MORE MONEY TO WHO
AND NOT INVESTIGATING OR TALKING ABOUT
THE SOCIALIZATION OF RISK, DEVALUATION OF CURRENCIES
DESTABILIZATION OF GOVERNMENTS
BONUSES TO THE FEW, THE NEW CLASS OF PLUNDERERS
–IT WOULD BE MORE HONEST TO INVEST IN SOMALI PIRATES—
AND MAYBE SOME OF THEM DO.
WAITING, HOPING, FOR A WIKI-BOMBSHELL
TO BE PUBLISHED
WHICH WILL EXPLODE THEIR CONTROL
WHILE, THE EDITOR OF WIKILEAKS,
IS, ACCORDING TO THE US GOVERNMENT,
A DANGER MORE DANGEROUS
THAN A TERRORIST GROUP-
FOR PUBLISHING DIPLOMATIC GOSSIP.
MY MY MY THE EMPIRE MUST BE HELD TOGETHER
BY SOOOO LITTLE….
WHILE, MR WIKILEAKS HIMSELF,
IS ACCUSED IN A STRANGE TWIST OF FATE…
IN A CASE OF OVERZEALOUS POLITICALLY CORRECT CHASTENESS
TOPPED BY AN INTERNATIONAL CHASE WARRANT
FOR NOT USING A CONDOM!
ARE YOU SAYING MISS THAT HE RAPED YOU
AND THEN YOU INVITED HIM BACK
THE FOLLOWING WEEK FOR MORE?!!
WHERE HIS ONLY CRIME IS THINKING
THAT THE OUTLAW HERO IS SUPPOSED TO GET THE GIRLS—
THE POLITICAL GROUPIES AND THE WOMEN REALIZED
WHEN THEY TALKED TOGETHER
THAT THEY WERE JUST STAR FUCKERS.
BUT SHHHHHHHH….ENOUGH SAID..
ENJOY THE MOSSELLEN, THE FRITES
THE CHOCOLATES, JENEVER, ALL THE BEERS
THE WHOLE BURGUNDIAN LIFESTYLE THAT IS THREATENED
WHILE POLITICOS CONTINUE TO GET PAID-SINCE THE ELECTION-
-WELL-VERY WELL INDERDAAD!!!
SO NO HURRY-NO WORRY-NO GOVERNMENT-NO MATTER-
THE FEAST GOES ON….THE BEAST GOES ON—
BUT, WHAT ABOUT BRUSSELS?
TO BE CONDEMNED WITH IT’S MILLION INHABITANTS
BECAUSE IT IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE LANGUAGE
BATTLE, THE CULTURAL BATTLE AND THE SUICIDAL
BEHAVIOR OF THE REST OF THE NATION-
THE ONLY REAL CITY IN BELGIUM
AND SO WHAT IT’S DIFFERENT?
NY WAS NEVER AMERICA AND
AMSTERDAM NEVER THE NETHERLANDS
AND PARIS CERTAINLY NOT FRANCE
MAYBE YA WANNA NEGLECT IT LIKE WASHINGTON D.C.
WITHOUT MONEY AND WITHOUT REPRESENTATION ?
YEAH, ONLY THE CHOSEN FEW WILL PROFIT
FROM A SPLIT OF SUCH PROPORTIONS
LICKING THEIR LIPS AND TONGUES
IN ANTICIPATION
ALMOST AS MUCH
AS THE PRIESTS ONCE DID
IN THEIR SMALL KINGDOMS OF GOD
AND THEIR ANSWERED PRAYERS OF
AN ETERNAL POOL OF LITTLE BOYS
THEIR VERSION OF HEAVENS’ VIRGINS
BEHIND THEIR CURTAINS OF CONFESSION
WHICH KEPT EVERYONE IN LINE
IN EVERY COMMUNITY
WIM, REMEMBER WHEN YOU TOLD ME THAT
SCHAAMLOOS VERHAAL SHAMEFUL STORY?
YOU WOULDN’T WANT THAT STORY
TO GET SPREAD AROUND WOULD YOU?
MAYBE YOU COULD DO ME A FAVOR, BROTHER?
AND WHO STILL GET PAID
BY THE KINGDOM OF BELGIUM
WHICH ITSELF WAS FORMED
IN A BIZARRE CHAIN OF EVENTS
TO BUFFER BETWEEN ENGLAND, HOLLAND AND FRANCE
NOT SO LONG AFTER THE FRENCH THEMSELVES
HAD BEHEADED THEIR OWN KING AND QUEEN TO SEEK
LIBERTE, FRATERNITE & EGALITE
WHY DON’T THEY JUST COME TOGETHER RIGHT NOW
AND BECOME A REPUBLIC?
THIS PLACE AINT SURREAL NO MORE ITS SUPER REAL
CEST PAS LE SURREALISME CEST LA SUPER REALISME
NIET LANGER SURREAL MAAR SUPRA REAL !!!!!!
BUT IT’S ALL MY FAULT, I READ THE PAPER TODAY.
