Pandora's Illuminating Box

Open a Pandora's Box and out come whimsical

hidden treasures, none so amazing as those reeking 

of moral squalor where hidden wealth is concerned 

amidst the propensity of those born to titled riches

the political elite of the world and a wild assortment of 

those claiming celebrity status who sanctimoniously

tutor the public in generosity of spirit, to graciously 

fund public initiatives to relieve world hunger, rescue 

the planet from humanity's excesses while offering 

nothing of their own but the motivation to do good

themselves abstaining to part with any of their wealth 

placed for safety from the reach of their nation's taxation 

arm in offshore safe havens. They compete for awards 

in hypocrisy with the royalty in possession of untold

wealth administering the affairs of an indigent nation

for whose security pleas garner generous supporting

gifts from other nations governed transparently, their 

relatively well-satisfied population in support of aiding 

those less fortunate while little knowing their altruistic

philanthropy frees the entitled from responsibility.

 

 

Bearing Witness

It is a simple enough matter of credulity.

Who can believe that two million

people have been taken into custody

to be re-educated to spurn their

lifelong values and customs and above all

their religious devotion, a perceived

threat to their host nation as citizens of

grave suspicion. The testimony of former

prisoners; they are victims so declared

spinning a tale too bizarre for belief one

which on elaboration by an ex-victimizer

was in reality a subdued version of the

measures taken to de-humanize, punish

and delegitimize a demographic that is not

of the ruling ethnic group. It is a matter of

cultural-religious genocide, amplified in the

horrors of its vulgar violence and state denial

by the authentic voice of credibility, one of

their very own disowning the psychopathy

of a government he has left, to bear witness.

 

 

Witness

We lull ourselves into believing 

that only the ignorant

those with a deviant mentality

the uneducated and uncultured

the unwashed and uncivilized

of the world could possibly be

racists, haters of others

unlike themselves. Barbaric louts

with no experience of the world

no opportunities sought to interact

with others to determine them

to be just like themselves

worthy of recognition as fellow humans

desirous of the very same things

in life, not sub-human creatures

who have no foundational

rights to live and whose existence

mocks nature's divine creation

whose cerebral function manifests its destiny

in sublime music, poetry, artistic

authenticity, finesse of science

and letters, mastery of chemistry

and quantum physics, divining

the structure of the universe. All

of which one tiny group of humanity

were recognized for in excellence

through Nobel awards but yet were

despised as inferior in every

conceivable way throughout history

until a psychopathic ideology arose

planning to correct ineffable nature's

error, among them thinkers and criminals

whose passionate hatred triumphed

handily over their absent humanity.

Designing the Future

As masters of long-term strategies designed 

to shape a nation's aspirations those of the

CCP in Bejing are peerless. Experts in the

arcane science of human behaviour they have 

but to issue decrees and their vast public 

acquiesces with the nudge of a sea of

informers and enforcers. The largest indigent

population on Earth transformed from feeble

poverty to the pride of financial comfort

abetted by a one-child policy in a culture

where boys are preferred over girls and thus

emerged the imbalance perplexing authorities

with diminished family units and natality in

distress as the population aged and workers

declined upsetting the algorithm of national

prosperity. The science of genetic editing

to produce a nation of geniuses viewed a

rapidly shrinking population compelling an

updated decree of two children per couple

then three children per couple in a nation that

prospered and offered higher education to

females who now forego childbearing in favour

of climbing the ladder of professional success. 

 

Now Hear This:

Nuremberg represented a gesture of outrage

by the world community sending the message

they would not stand unmoved by the plight of 

helpless vulnerable people portrayed as sub-human 

expendable in a world deserving of their absence 

being systematically murdered in an abhorrent genocide. 

This is where recognizable names of the heinous plan

of extermination played their part in abject shame

articulating 'nicht schuldig' casually flicking away

responsibility; surely a breed apart and beyond the 

understanding of most civilized people. There was 

considerably less interest in the actions of vast multitudes 

deputizing themselves eagerly to be helpful as 

enablers and murderers themselves in disposing of 

the presence of Jews in their midst.  And do you suppose 

that this great mass of evil-doers so long unnoticed 

live with their conscience in a state of remorse

or rather live in the fear of discovery? Does the world 

care whether atrocities they engaged in did no harm to

their future lives as ordinary people living ordinary lives 

because after all they are now elderly, ill, near death. 

Think: some of their victims yet living are also elderly

ill, near death, their lives haunted by the ghostly presence

of those they lost, memories of the atrocities they also

suffered grimly alive, and they are desirous of justice...

Jews as Exotica

It is a casual review by a travel writer. Under the 

caption: 'Dutch Tolerance', an eye-catching phrase 

in descriptions of the preeminent place of 16thC

Amsterdam as a cosmopolitan destination: "The 

atmosphere ... created attracted a high-energy mix 

of humanity; immigrants, Jews, outcasts and political

rebels" ... raising my antennae so fine-tuned and

polished over the years, heavy in the ongoing 

experience of anti-Semitism that racists declare 

non-existent. Dutch tolerance is it? That would be 

the country where 75percent of its well-integrated

hundreds-of-years-old Jewish demographic 

failed to survive the holocaust, where of those Jews 

who went into hiding, a third were betrayed by 

Dutch fascist Nazi collaborators. The Netherlands 

of today sensitively protects prostitution, exercising

a liberal view of recreational drug use. In a previous 

iteration the Dutch were great seafarers, colonizing

 countries from South America to Africa and Asia

the most cruel of foreign occupiers whose flagrant 

abuse of native peoples shocked even their French 

and British counterparts. The Netherlands today

invites tourists to visit the numerous sites of WWII

Nazi work camps where Jews were interned as slave

labourers before transport to the notoriously successful 

Auschwitz, where the work of the Final Solution 

was assiduously carried out to free the world of

the onerous, poisonous presence of such exotics.

The Game Is On!

There is no compassion for age or majesty. 

The blood sport of commoners is on display

leaning comfortably on the broad shoulders 

of the 'woke' progressives dominating society 

for whom the sacred trust has become the antics 

of the juvenile-arrested in whose interests 

all boundaries of human decency have been 

breached in the greater need to express solidarity 

with the oppressed of the world who have become

the generation of victimhood personified and

to assuage their 'triggered' hurts for which others 

upon whom they cast blame must suffer the loss of

dignity in an era where no privacy is countenanced

that cannot be revealed somewhat canted in favour 

of hidden perceptions of superiority over the dregs 

of society now elevated to a position of judgement 

finding in their esteemed view that those serving 

the realm of a royal kingdom are scarred with scandal 

imposed by a nefarious world reducing them from 

revered figures of royal aristocracy to craven failures

as mere humans while the revolting masses cheer.
