  1. Generation bearing rocks.....


    Like mussels we sit in cafés,
    one hunts for a business venture,
    one for another billion,
    a fourth wife,
    breasts polished by civilization.
    One stalks London for a lofty mansion.

    one traffics in arms,
    one seeks revenge in nightclubs,
    one plots for a throne, a private army,
    a princedom.
    Ah generation of betrayal,
    of surrogate, indecent men,
    generation of leftovers, we’ll be swept away-
    never mind the slow pace of history-
    by children bearing rocks.
    Nizar Qabbani 1923....... 

    Picked this up off an article on Counterpunch. It’s a sad and beautiful world. D
