The Man Who Sold His Soul Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

The man who sold his soul

I can't let go of Christopher Higgins yet, not that I knew him,
but I have read a couple of his books - not impressed- he is
not an author. A very erudite man with a photographic mind
He could remember everything he had read at University,
and that is impressive and on occasion he used his scholarship
prowess to dazzle an opponent to stammering silence.
But I have been watching man you tube programs of his act
or performance and it struck me one day he has no depths
and he is also an intellectual opportunist who realized which
side of the slice of bread the butter was on.
He was a man who defected from his own youthful promises
Who sang like a joker and received accolade, because he only
0Raged against the has been - like Kissinger- no one likes him
A mild criticism of the foreskin cutting Jewish practice, but he
reserved his venom to the Arab world which it became clear
he had only bookish knowledge. He had a good life in America
and seduced by its naivety he continued unsteady journey
