~ new-born heroes

somewhat poetic prose; i write merely to exercise my right to write

monsieur scalpel,

your current bout of sulking makes me gloomy

but the CIA is rescuing me

from sharing your sulka-thon (marathon) with you

i am happy

so happy that i can't get over the fact

that they are talking to journalists

and revealing the most murky nexus

humankind has ever known about

v. putin's tentacles are no longer a secret

their reach has been mapped so precisely

that we know who he reached and how

as days pass

more details will be revealed

and we will know

the conspiracy which led to the apparent defeat of liberalism

('apparent' being the operative word)

it did seem like power was usurped

by the most unlikely candidate for global leadership

but most people don't budge without rational evidence

the CIA is putting it together

for everybody

everywhere in the world

and as a partially trained historian

i am buzzing incessantly

those nameless, faceless people

who work in intelligence

are making their presence felt

to fight the abuse of power

it's a war of ideas

and the truth has razor-sharp minds on its side

whoever thinks that the world is going to implode

should think again

and listen to the songs of brilliance

that the best spies in the world are singing

and hum along

to cheer these new-born heroes

Reviews

[Robert Parlange]

There is an old saying in America, "Give him enough rope and he'll hang himself." Donald Trump is used to living in the shadows of his board room and seems to have a great ignorance of the Democratic process. He is getting a good education that he was elected President and not dictator.

~ wow... thanks a million for this extremely insightful and astute comment, Maestro Robert... he is indeed receiving an education... and learning that his words and decisions can be questioned...

The left and right are wings of the same bird. It isn't an eagle, but rather an evil vulture feasting on all we hold dear. The spies too dance via the strings of the puppet master.
