The “eclatante” poem below is a talkback to an oped on Nye Meninger, the debate forum for the Labour mouthpiece dagsavisen on June 29, 2011
The oped deals with the failed flotilla, and is, in and of itself, insignificant, riddled with homemade definitions of international Law, but in the end risible, although it does trigger an urge to curl toes and fingers in deep embarrassment for such lack of knowledge.
My jaws however, drop open with disbelief and disgust on finding this talkback, even worse, that the moderator would let it slip through:
There is an ugly holy cow
Some place in the Middle East
The cow’s name is Israel
No guarantee for peace
She is so big and ugly and fat
eating ever more
do not care for other’s rights
has no idea of common sense
taking every opportunity
thirst for what is yours
rushing over lands and fields
a self-declared matriarch
with demonic appetite
oh-brrr
A cow which gores
the cow sees herself as sacred
yet is megalomaniac
lying there, masticating
burping political absurdity
one day the race shall be over
probably it shall find it’s grave
at the bottom of the Dead sea
people will wonder
was it murder
No, it was mad cow disease.
The author of the light verse above, Helge Vladimir Tiller is born in 1941, lives in Oslo, and is a regular contributor to Dagsavisen, Norway’s leading left wing daily, commonly regarded as the mouthpiece of the Norwegian Labor party.
