The Hague Show
Slobodan Milosevic in the Hague trial,on TV,
Appeared so compressed and squeezed. so confused.
Mixed with bitterness, fears glinted in his eyes
As if he felt like a rat being chased by a cat
in a rainy winter night
He didn't notice ethnic cleansing , he said,
But may be saw, on the news, crying ghosts fade away
He didn't know of massacres and group graves
Now he knows that many in the glob know
He's astonished to be stopped so late allowing him
To victimize more and create a need for this justice show
It's plain now, the Whitehouse works in a mysterious way!
He never thought to end up as a barbecue on a grill
it's obvious now that you may endlessly kill
if you're blessed by the gods of this judgment day
as that mad busy smashing about Jerusalem
He never been fond of equal rights
now he sees cats to be more consistent
Having no place in their standard policy
For bias and for hypocrisy, they chase all rats.
great visual!! I really enjoyed all the comparisons and I love the other worldly way you write in this. It drew me in. was like spying art over the mantle of a fireplace one has come into the room to warm themselves by and there they get the added joy of seeing the rare art too. ok, that was a bit convoluted yes but I think you all too easily were able to get my general meaning of that statement. again your latest conquered fan and fellow
