A great text by talented Ted Griffin.
Hell is always for Rent.
A raid to clear it out, only made it move to a new location.
Police lining their Pockets,
Graft and Grime,
wanted for more,
Motivation for Vice, Pleasure, and Wealth.
It’s the World’s Playground- without wives.
On stage, Hear Freedom Flow through the Pipes
of a Chorus of Beautiful Voices
in a Parade, irresistible.
Needs a Housecleaning, wants Reform,
but always gets an Acquittal.
an Absolute Boss Dominates this resort,
for his Entertainment.
Be certain,
HELL IS ALWAYS FOR RENT.
( I received a good deal on a sublet)
Fantastic
Thank you though the thanks go to the original author. 🙂
Take care
Words that are so true!
I like Ted’s many talents very much, he is a great painter, musician, wordsmith. And he hit the nail on this one. 🙂
Happy to see you back here, Brian…really missed you!
Dankie Dina. Me too. Though I enjoyed every minute of those six weeks in Paris, I did miss the Blogosphere and special E-friends like you. I keep reading disastrous news in the press about SA, and that saddens me. Plus the fact that Europeans have no idea what the other Racism is like… You know what I mean. Anyway, I hope you and your are all right. Have you managed to keep in touch with your daughter?
My daughter visited for three weeks but returned to China last Friday.Yes Brian, we are very nervous about everything. They are targeting the corporates now…banks don’t give loans if there isn’t a certain amount of black people in the company or on the board. Civil sevice are ruined, all the money stolen. Now they are targeting innocent farmers with accusations of racism etc. I am soooo sick and tired!
I can understand that. Worse is there seems to be no solution in sight. Just hang on.
And… I’m glad your daughter was able to visit. Three weeks is both short and long. But those are nice moments. Have a nice week-end Dina.
Same to you Brian.
🙂
Hell, no 😀
😉
Clever…
Hats off to Ted. 🙂
One hell of a mess hardly applies. Multiple hells of messes is more like it!
Indeed. Unfortunately.
Of that, I have no doubt. I spent to many years there trying to survive. When one is born into it, they must work ever so hard to get out.
Thank you for following one of my blogs.
Again, a pleasure. Glad you’re out of It. 😉
Moi aussi monsieur. 😉
Monsieur? “Brian” aka Brieuc, as in Saint-Brieuc. A +
I prefer the Brieuc, my ex was a Brian but I can get over it. 😉 Ciao!
Oh. Sorry about that. There have been some black sheep among my namesake. 😉
No doubt there have been for most names. Nothing to apologize for. 😉
😉
Now this is a poetic statement of life 🙂
Very apt words from my E-friend Ted.
