 Welcome to My life in the shadows

NERO PLAYS GOLF





NERO PLAYS GOLF

Early this morning
I slowly crawled from my warm
And comfortable bed
And made my way down
To my comfortable kitchen
Where I had a nice hot cup of coffee
Before I slipped into
My comfortable car
And drove downtown
To my comfortable work.
This evening I will slip back
Into my comfortable car
And I will drive back
To my comfortable home
Where I will eat dinner
With my comfortable family.
After that I will sit
In my comfortable chair
And read a comfortable book
Before I retire once again
To my comfortable bed.

Meanwhile,
Over there in the desert somewhere
There are thousands of Christians
Who are stranded on a mountain
After being forced from their homes
By an evil army.
An army who has decapitated
Many of their neighbors
And many of their friends,
And many of their children,
Even crucifying other friends,
And neighbors, and children.
Children as young as five; and why?
Because they are Christians.
While back on the mountain
The Parents that are left
Open their veins
So that the children,
Those that are still alive,
Will have something to drink tonight
While others die of their wounds,
And of their thirst and hunger.

In Israel the rockets are flying
And the bombs are falling
While the drive-by-media,
Who protects the president
No matter what,
Say next to nothing
And most of that is bunk.

Now, back at home,
In the heart land
Of America,
Where the price of gas
Hovers around four dollars a gallon
And food prices continue
Their rise through the sky.
Buildings are burning
And people are looting,
And it all seems fanned on by CNN
Who is out looking
For higher ratings again.

So now we see
The poor president
Who has weakened himself so,
(with all of his fund raising)
That he feels
He must take another vacation
For another pile of millions
Over in Martha's Vineyard
Playing golf
With all the rich and famous;
And he is not to be bothered
At all
Except by a call
From the French President
Who just wanted (in the nicest way)
To remind him
That the world is burning.
