Dictators And Other Disagreeables Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Dictators and the disagreeable

We sit in the bar, we the insecure here we are masters of
our own dreams...tomorrow, always next day and never in the morning.
People who have to stop drinking often develop peculiar fads,
like defending Hitler. Mind it is easy to blame on and excuse the rest.
Once Hitler was a child, his mother dried his tears.
It is much easier to get an obsession concerning the pope or Obama,
the first black President, to defend his record or lack of it is easy and one
will have many followers on twitter or facebook. And on can also
bask in the warm glow of popularity and admire his close circle of advisers.
I have taken I have taken a shine to Saddam Hussein lately his brutality was
saner than the so called democracy few people in the Middle East want,
but we are not listening to the majority, but only to western educated stooges.
I have never met a nice dictator, but some of them have turned
out to be quite wise.
