Right after US House Speaker Mme Nancy Pelosi, had landed in Taipei, Taiwan, on August 2, 2022, I was asked by Russia Today (RT) to comment on that tension-increasing event. It was a news program, but thanks to the excellent questions raised by Rory Suchet, the very knowledgeable anchor at the desk, we got an unusual 15 min conversation out of it.
Delightful! – I would add, not the least compared with some media people I’ve come across in the Western/Scandinavian mainstream press.
If, for some reason, you can’t see it, use this link instead.
this muse is like a hover
if you are not a mouse, you should be amused
if you´re afraid
watch out where the hairy flies
( pelosi = latin = hairy, means 1) hair/fur or 2) dangerous/nerve-racking )
maybe she flies like long hair in the wind,
the longer the hair, the less the will of its own,
– finally left only with the choice
the wind does
– a weak mind blowing in the air,
like only the wind decides
maybe cold from the white freecing north,
or hot air, from a sinking and wrinkled balloon

don´t forgive her, for she knows ”

If I respect the human, I will be respected. If I love the human, I will be loved. If I destroy the human, I will be destroyed. For I am a human.
