"God is with us."
Emmanuel name meaning
Is significant in the absence
Of respect shown towards
His office and without his presence
He has suffered more than usual
Amount of protests
Setting people places on fire
Or the bicycles of the streets
Our iconic images of Paris
The sweet streets of cafes
And bicycles with a basket for groceries
It seems so idealist to have such an atmosphere
Then there are the images of the Eiffel tower
Or the smart ladies with their tiny miniature dogs
Strolling down the street
Instead, they have become like the boorish
Americans they once taunted
In fact they asked us to stay at home
They now the ones wearing the GAP
Style of clothing and setting fires
To their own streets
While protesting something silly
It is not like the Great depression
Pension reform was bound to happen
With the Olympics coming to town
They need to clean up their acts
No one wants to visit a city in flames
If they don't want to loose what is left
Of their economics then they need
To stop acting as Americans
Or Germans and become the same
Sophisticated French who don't care
About anything but their expresso
And baguettes with brie
It is bad to assume this is now their life
But it is also hard to imagine them
Really willing to shoo away the visiors
Coming for the olympics
Do they not want to compete in the games?
Are they not willing to share their city?
Is it that terrible that foreigner's are going
To tread through their streets and museums
That they are staging these activities?
While he is gone from thier country.
He is attempting to keep peace in the world
And make it a better place to live
With his trip to China.
But they dont care about anything
But those two years on a nude beach
No one has vineyards anymore
Nor seaside teashops
Much less a farm to go home
They are just going to sit in thier rooms
And do nothing at all.
Travel to another place
No way!
Move to America!
Not at all.
They wont even go to the Chunnel.
To see the Queen off
Nor the King coronated
If it shows up on tv
Instead of the latest soccer game
Oh well, they might watch.
What are they planning to do anyways?
I'm not going to let you in.
You are supposed to come through the window
That is why i leave it open.
You are not allowed to come
In through the hallway.
Not anymore, you are now a big
Cat! You must learn to go around
To the window and not meow
In the hallway.
Everyone is complaining about it
No more noise.
Now I am closing the door.
Meow, meeow, meeoow!
I heard my neighbor tell her cat
This morning after over a month
Of listening to it at all times
Of the day and night
I was thinking of getting food for it
Now it is being told no!
The hallway door is not supposed
To be open and she should not be able
To access the hallway
But really!
She is not even six months old!
Some mothers!
I bet Emmanuels mother
Never left him alone
Not even at school
She was always there
Right on time
To take him home
With her to instill
Safe and secure issues
With him as he grew towards
A man who would become President
In other places of the world
She might have been locked up
For no other reason than he
Was not to grow up a normal boy
But like Jimmy
A mental handicapped young man
Imagine if children were their parents
Dream to be the same as imagined.
One assumes that little John
Crawling on the floor
Of his father's floor
In the Oval office
Was to become a big man
Instead his father was shot
He grew up in a fancy city
Where he had to obey the rules
And still did not get any respect
Everything he tried to do was not good enough
Then one day he flew off
And never made it home
While his cousin Robert
Was just born when this happened
Has always gone towards politics
Even though his own father
Was also murdered not long afterwards
His uncle and his father
Yet he has tried as well to be a good boy
Four marriages and a few elected jobs
Maybe there will be another one
A Kennedy in the White House
Not that uncle Joe is doing a bad job
And both of them Catholic
The rest of the crew
The surviving ones as they have
Lost quit a number of them
Must be getting ready to support him.
Presumably Jimmy will not be invited
To be his manager nor press man
All Jimmy has eve wanted was to be
The boss with no one telling him what to do
He has often come up with stories
Of meeting the man who died
When he was still a young boy
Being born in Dec 1956
In Germany to an African woman
Who did not want her husband to know
That she had meet her old flame
Whom she could not marry
But then she did not know what to do
Walter probably was aware of the bastard
After all he became the Mayor of DC
In 1975 when Jimmy turned 18.
What are the mice going to do
If Jimmy keeps making up stories
Or the dog catcher does not get
Those rats or rabid ones
Who just want to cause trouble
For others just to enjoy the misery.
Mice need to know they will not be
Tolerated if it causes to much harm for others.
It is Easter time and the resurrection hope for many.
Maybe we should all go to bed
And wakeup with a new hope
That Jimmy will not be there tomorrow
Nor the border scrimmage
No longer a threat to Europe
But a peaceful time to watch the bunnies
Hop, hop off into the sunset...
Stop burning your town!
A few more years wont make a difference, anyways...
