So if the pavements are useless because they are used for parking, storage, selling space, or light fires forcing us to walk on the road, we’re the ones who get in trouble.
If we cross where it’s safer, where we only have to worry about traffic from 2 directions, instead of at ‘pedestrian crossings’ where traffice comes from 4 directions, we’re the ones who get treated like criminals ? While the so-called “police” give out tickets to pedestrians, while ignoring people almost being hit on “crossings” only a few meters away.
This is why Taiwan can go screw itself. Why should I care if China nukes it ? Can’t make it any worse.
Come friendly bombs and fall on Taiwan!
It isn’t fit for humans now,
There isn’t grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!
Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
Those air -conditioned, bright canteens,
Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans,
Tinned minds, tinned breath.
Mess up the mess they call a town-
A house for ninety-seven down
And once a week a half a crown
For twenty years.
And get that man with double chin
Who’ll always cheat and always win,
Who washes his repulsive skin
In women’s tears:
And smash his desk of polished oak
And smash his hands so used to stroke
And stop his boring dirty joke
And make him yell.
But spare the bald young clerks who add
The profits of the stinking cad;
It’s not their fault that they are mad,
They’ve tasted Hell.
It’s not their fault they do not know
The birdsong from the radio,
It’s not their fault they often go
To America
And talk of sport and makes of cars
In various bogus-Tudor bars
And daren’t look up and see the stars
But belch instead.
In labour-saving homes, with care
Their wives frizz out peroxide hair
And dry it in synthetic air
And paint their nails.
Come, friendly bombs and fall on Taiwan
To get it ready for the plough.
The cabbages are coming now;
The earth exhales.
