Osskar Time Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Oscar Time
I have been watching Fox news channel which is entertainment
more than news with long legged girls arguing and trying to make
Trump into an intellectual giant. The legs apart, I sometimes agree
the neo-liberal hatred in America is frightening, this fury by
the democrats who feel cheated are palpable.
This aside the great Oscar time is here, the magnificent plastic people
in a room of nervous tension, perfumed sweat and gulped whisky in
the locker room. La La Land won a sweet film- no doubt that- will make
us forget hunger in Africa, bloody wars and the Palestinian catastrophe

I think the power to be wants it this way to infantilize us encourage
the gossip about the film stars, who slowly seem to learn to live with
Donald Trump, they know who is running the industry and it is not
the beautiful people Hollywood Land
