history

[mnaz]

history is a bitch with an ice pick
yet if not for it i am not here
and i needed to be here
therein lies the rub

the twentieth century drones on
like frogs trying to fuck geese
stains of what is the next
hitler, mussolini or stalin

anyway, we won the big war
we had hemingway and guts
and god, and flamethrowers
on our side

Excellent.

[hester_prynne]

yes, excellent Mnaz!

[mnaz]

thanks terry and hesty ...

i think i stole that first line from jack. sorry, jack !

"frogs trying to fuck geese"--- that one's all mine however. and not too bad either ...

impressive enumeration in the last stanza...!
(I wonder how many kilometres of celuloide about that are already made...! and I´m not counting the digital era... )

[mnaz]

thanks arcadia. and now that the movies are made and cash registers ringing, now what?

seriously, the 20th century is still fucking us up. like the 19th fucked with the 20th, and the 18th with the 19th and so on, and on, and ...

well, i'm sure the kids will eventually figure it out ...

Mnaz, your poetic cavalcade of history is brilliant. You show the infested underbelly of civilization in all its goriness.

sheer numbers and complexity will prevent anyone with a takeover mentality from conquering this mess, but you never know, and when i say "mess," it includes the lovely lilacs next door of course ....
