Great to see,
How he put intelligence
At their place
@D
Russian Name
It took me 20 minutes to practice
During our rehearsal
It’s easy to miss
An unfamiliar consonant & vowel
@D
Angela Merkel
She may be able
To prevent war
She was right on core
Diplomacy must be on the table
@D
Secret Intelligence
Secret services form a state
Within appreciated nations’ state
They lead lives of their own
Away from people, politics they’ve grown
@D
East Ukraine
Parts of Holland may decide
To choose Russia over us
For all I care–why fuss
Let people freely decide
@D
Ukraine
The propaganda war
Has evil in store
Could the US, Russia steer
To something from which to stay clear?
@D
National Day Of Mourning
The first 40 funeral cars
Lesson from vulnerability
Of other people’s wars
Is to live & enjoy now in humility
@D
Bad News
It seems to have no end
It gets harder to digest now
I try to defend
Faith in humanity, somehow
It’s wrong to choose sides
Between East & West Ukraine
If it’s for Russia the East takes strides,
All opposition will be in vain
Yet, Ukraine brought itself shame
Who really attacked the plane?
Can Russia afford to defame
It’s big seat in the human chain?
I regret the USA isn’t impartial
It should let go of Ukraine’s choices
The EU won’t be universal
It cannot but accept other voices
Then, local customs differ from ours
Everybody is saddened by everybody
Misunderstandings take hours
Now, loss of dignity they embody
One thing I can’t understand
Why air traffic doesn’t avoid
Violent areas–safety it must defend
Yet, cost is what gets them annoyed
@D
Crimea
No one gets why
The EU & USA want sanctions
When the Crimea people try
To join Russia, & not EU-nations
@D
Ukraine
The wise people of Southeastern Ukraine
Smart enough to reject the EU
The latter is a drain
Of wealth, freedom, in inhabitants’ view
@D
Russian Ambassador
You really think
Holland will punish
Public officials who stink?
It never does, here to our anguish
@D
Diplomat Row
Dutch police beat up Russian diplomat
Strangers beat up Dutch diplomat
Who should be tamed?
Should I be ashamed?
@D
Vladimir Putin
A winner he is, again
Dutch authorities’ brutality at
Russian citizens, a diplomat
Which part is untrue, insane?
@D
Edward Snowden
European states offended Bolivia’s president
To the core over Edward Snowden
The president morally won at this event
What happened then?
Snowden now wants to stay with the Russians
Russia wants to abandon computers
For reliable German typewriters
Espionage is a world of comedians
It’s too tempting for governments
Not to eavesdrop
At the others’ moments
It’s a sad flop
Reading piles of love letters
Advertising mails
Among all those tales
Once a thing that ‘matters’
I see no real hero
A spy is in the eyes
Of the own party a zero;
Beast of burden under other skies
@D
Euro
The euro is endangered
By Russian tax evaders on Cyprus
If only it was endangered!
It would no longer pester us
@D
