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.
I’m grateful for every little support from you for my free writing. It is quickly done, easy and secure. Many thanks!
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.
