    THƠ THỜI SỰ ENGLISH Winners and Losers - Oh the VP Debate! (Written in My Own Word-Salad at the Request of Poet James Horn)

     Winners and Losers -  Oh the VP Debate! (Written in My Own Word-Salad at the Request of Poet James Horn)

    Winners and Losers -  Oh the VP Debate!

    (Written in My Own Word-Salad at the Request of Poet James Horn)

     Before it started;

    The public in general had been excited about the race.

    the audiences, the followers, the supporters

    of all sides;

    the left,

    and the right,

    the blue and the red,

    the love and the hate,

    the conservatives and the liberals,

    and the people in different ethnic groups

    (yellow, black, brown, and white).

    All had craved for an entertainingly thrilled debate

    They had predicted it

    would

    be

    a war of words,

    a devastating tsunami from the sea of saliva,

    a chokingly smoky sky on the raging wildfire.

     Realistically, the debate surprisingly happened out of the blue;

    too far away from everyone’s unique prediction,

    too high from some risk-takers’ big bet.

    Both debaters

    somehow

    have behaved

    in good manners

    during the arguments,

    as if their minds were in peace.

    They took the safe path;

    They tiptoed on the middle road;

    They walked like the two parallel rail tracks;

    They were too cautious not to wildly cross paths

    They made as few direct punches as they could.

     What the heck was going on?

    How could it be so?

    All stimulatingly entertaining factors were somehow vaporized in thin air.

    It was awfully boring,

    terribly tedious,

    and dreadfully mind-numbing;

    (Unlike in the blood sport of cock fighting

    that two cocks attack

    each other

    with sharp metal spurs,

    ‘til one bravely dies right at the scene,

    or is critically injured

    or cowardly runs away out of a cockpit).

    The war of words didn’t have much fun

    lack any raining punches,

    no splattering blood,

    no black eyes,

    no any swollen lips,

    and absolutely no knockout.

    Both fighters have accomplished their mission impossible,

    The ‘mind-your-own-damn-business’ fella

    and the ‘childless-cat-lady’ guy

    have got out of the round,

    the bout,

    the roundabout,

    safe

    and sound.

    Not only would they have saved face

    But also they’ve polished their image

    for readily-effective-backup for the throne

    in case something goes wrong with the top of either ticket.

    Both debaters have become winners

    Losers are certainly all aliens

    regardless their immigration status

    whether they came

    legally

    or illegally.

    And it doesn’t matter

    They've lived in this paradise-on-earth most of their life.

    They all without exception

    must cope with

    kinda

    callous

    deportation,

    if the God-chosen Hitler would take the top job.

    Let's hope for the better, not worse!

    His Art of the Deal ‘N Your Best Yield

    (Song Lyrics)

     hey, hey, hey

    it doesn’t come everyday

    tis a window opportunity

    take it now

    take it now

    take it know

     

    or it’ll fly away

    too far away

    like a balloon

    up high in sky

    too high

    out of your reach

     

    take it now

    take it now

    take it know

    otherwise it’ll be too late

    you’ll regret

    you’ll be mad

    you’ll be upset

     

    he reassures

    it’s his best deal

    you must trade

    the love in your heart,

    the stillness in your mind

    the compassion in your life

    all money in your bank accounts

    for his hatred,

    his odium,

    his abhorrence,

    and his disarray.

     

    trade ‘em now

    trade ‘em now

    trade ‘em know

     

    he says

    your days are blue

    your nights are black

    everything around you is dark

    your superior blood is poisoned

    your country is invaded

    your world meets its end

    you’re getting trapped

    no exit

    no way out

     

    hey, hey, hey,

    don’t pray

    God be busy

    He take a nap

    He don’t hear your prayers

    it’s the best deal

    it’s your top pick

    it’s best bet

    no better choice

    no other options

    don’t hesitate

    take it now

    take it now

    take it know

    your days will be light

    your nights will be lively

    everything around you will be jolly

    your superior blood will pure

    your country will be great again

     

    hey, hey, hey

    trade ‘em now

    trade ‘em now

    trade ‘em now

    ‘til you’re out of breath

    ah ah, ah

    oh, oh, oh,

    Your Born-again Sacred Savior

     

    he knows your feelings of insecurity,

    your nuisances,

    your torments,

    your angsts,

    your fears,

    etc.,

    of

    the rapidly rising costs of daily livings,

    the prices of gasoline ‘n groceries,

    the critical housing shortages,

    the swelling crime rates,

    the political chaos,

    the social turmoil,

    so on

    n’ so far.

     

    he has accused the mounting influx of migrants

    (legally

    or unlawfully invading

    your paradise-on-earth)

    for the whole shit you have to cope with.

     

    you’ve been driven to the darkest corner of your lif;e

    you’re too absent-minded to recall your past.

    he was your awesome leader;

    he was your holy savior,

    that made your nation great.

    it had become a man-made heaven

    under his outstanding reign

    for four years.

     

    alas,

    in the past,

    it was your sins,

    it was your fault,

    it was your guilt,

    somewhat, you’ve neglected,

    you did not safely protect his back.

    you idiotically didn’t pay to the damn fact,

    the last election was rigged.

    the liberals

    the socialists,

    the communists,

    the modern Marxists,

    somehow made the coup d'état,

    overthrew your country’s democracy

    in broad daylight

    right in front of your naked eyes.

    Your savior has gone on hiatus to play golf for relaxation.

     The currently governing elites

    have ineptly created

    social,

    political,

    financial,

    economic chaos.

    They have put your country in a big mess

    They have driven your life into a deep pile of muddy shit.

     no need to be in a panic.

    take things easy.

    don’t worry.

    Jesus is reborn.

    your holy savior has been back.

    you now can totally rely on the chosen one.

    trust him

    without any doubt.

    believe all in what he says.

    he knows what you wanna hear.

    his lullaby lyrics ease your ears

    and calm your worrisome minds.

     simply put him on the throne

    by donating all what you own

    to the last

    cent

    ‘til your pockets are entirely empty.

    he’ll put your life on the right track.

    he’ll make your nation great again.

     one-hundred percent guarantee to all patriots;

    or you’ll get full refund back,

    without any question

    asked.

     those of you who object to

    his excellently luring offer

    must be traitors.

    he wears to god

    he’ll put you

    behind

    bars

    for treason without trial.

    he’ll drive your souls to

    Satan’s burning hell forever.

    7-10-2024 Your Nation Essentially Depends on Illegitimately Cheap Labor

    Your Nation Essentially Depends on Illegitimately Cheap Labor

    you’re a rich but greedy
    everyone in your home is as lazy as a sloth
    (your better-half,
    your offspring,
    and yourself)
    all avoid of doing household chores
    you’ve had no choice
    but rely on
    others
    to
    wash your greasy dish
    clean your filthy toilet
    scrub your muddy floor
    make your cluttered bed
    tidy your messy home
    mow your lawn
    weed your garden
    take care of your backyard
    and to do all other odds and ends around your house

    you wanna an absolute convenience
    to have these tasks
    done
    twenty-four seven
    (you has hired a live-in worker
    and offer him an onsite shelter
    (the shed in your backyard)
    at couple hundred bucks a month
    deducted
    from his salary
    which is much lower
    than the minimum wage

    he was happy to take your hard currency in cash
    anyway,
    you've certainly known
    no one in your country is too silly to take such a shitty job offer
    unless those who don’t have a work permit.

    when he took your rotten carrot
    you had already known
    he must be an alien
    who was
    desperately
    in need of work
    for his very basic survival
    and that of his family back home.
    (those illegal migrants
    like he
    who are voluntary slaves
    serving masters as greedy as you’re)
    they absolutely have no legal protection for basic human rights
    they’re the easiest target to abuses, exploitations, manipulations

    and last but not least, they’re your disposable
    scapegoats
    for
    all problems
    you have to cope with
    both in your dysfunctional family
    and in your gradually deteriorated nation

    you've been blaming
    them without guilt
    for all the troubles
    you've dived in at your own faults
    and all the messes you’ve made by your own mistakes
    however, you can kick them out anytime you’d like

    you’ve been injecting hates into the hearts and the minds of each other
    you’ve been spreading damn lies against migrants in general
    you’ve been yelling like hell
    you’ve been shouting aloud
    “get the hell out of here
    go back home
    to where you came from”.

    each of you personally can fire
    an illegal migrant
    and hire a legal one
    to serve you at your own home
    if you don't mind spending more money
    to pay him the minimum wage as required by law

    but how would your nation be?
    if all of those cheap laborers were deported en masses
    who of you,
    the locals-born
    will work from dawn to dust under glaring sun
    to harvest crops
    to hand-pick fruits
    and to do other manual tasks on your country's vast farmland?
    who of you, the patriots are willing to
    take
    low pay
    but hard works
    on construction
    in the hospitality industry
    and all other sectors of your country’s economy?

    The Tales of Two Extremists

    In her short history,
    there were only
    two
    vicious 
    attacks on the land
    of her superpower nation.

    Both shocking acts
    of
    terrorism
    were covertly planned
    and swiftly executed out of the blue.

    The first attack was committed by an outsider
    (he was a militant extremist,
    an Islamist dissident,
    a warlord
    in the Afghan jihad
    against the occupation of the Soviet Union.)

    In the swift response to the sudden attack
    on his indestructible fortress,
    Uncle Sam had sent
    his almighty army to
    a worldwide
    war
    against
    terrorism.
    Also, a global man-hunt
    had been instantly launched.
    (a “Wanted Dead or Alive” was posted
    to attract the attention of international bounty hunters).

    On-the-run,
    nonstop,
    no place to run,
    nowhere to hide,
    the terrorist was spotted
    at the corner of a remote area.
    his compound was raided at night
    he was shot dead in a quick gunfight,
    (it ended his fate,
    and the ending of his tale).
    The terrorist had been too silly to pick his wrong enemy.
    No country could dare challenge Uncle Sam
    regardless how powerful its army would be.
    The second shameful attack

    on the capital of this nation
    was skillfully schematized
    secretly done
    by
    the extremist within.

    The emperor had been
    stripped
    off
    fully naked
    by his people.
    Instead of making a formal concession
    as required
    by legal and habitual etiquette
    he had blatantly refused a handover of power
    since, he had excitingly expected
    and astoundingly awaited
    outcomes
    of his carefully planned coup d'état.

    (In response to his call
    the far-right mobs
    and diehard worshipers

    o' his political cult of populism
    had violently stormed the Capitol.
    They chanted

    “Hang Mike Pence!”
    ”Hang Mike Pence!”

    ”Hang Mike Pence!”
    Pence was his right-hand man,

    his second commander,

    a man of principal,

    a god-believer,
    a loyalist to the constitution.

    Pence had decided to be faithful of his nation

    And not to follow the commander-in-chief

    at any cost.

    Pence hence had decided

    not to go against the will of the people.

    He had refused to obey his boss’ illegitimately ruthless command .

     As a result, the wannabe dictator has had his coup d'état crushed.

    And Uncle Sam has magically

    had his democracy
    remain fully
    intact.

    Unlike the manhunt worldwide
    that had terminated
    the awful
    fate
    of the terrorist outside,
    the legal hunts to the inner extremist
    (federally-wide
    and in various states)
    have ineffectively gone wild.

    The naked emperor,

    the wannabe dictator,

    the political predator,

    and the self-proclaimed victim of' witch-hunts,

    has been on his joyful merry-go-round.

    his trip is little bumpy

    yet he has been

    still

    safe and sound,
    since has been legally surrounded by best attorneys

    and physically well-protected by the Secret Service.

    He is the top contender of one of the two tickets

    in the neck-to-neck

    political

    horse

    race.

    he has assured his worshipers in various occasions

    this is the last time,

    no need to vote again

    He’ll fix the broken system.

    If he is lucky enough to retrieve his throne

    It’ll be doomsday of democracy

    Your nation might become another North Korea.

    Wait and see.

    And you’ll know the rest of the story.

    The Massacre and the Genocide in the World of Bigotry
    Hamas and other militant groups launched a deadly assault on
    various civilian areas inside Israel October last year.
    Their sudden attack on
    the Nova Music Festival
    in the Negev Desert
    utterly shocked
    the world.
    The joyful fiesta became the killing field.
    The armed radicals indiscriminately fired machine guns at point-blank range
    They shot at the frightful crowds nonstop
    the people in panic
    in their cars
    on the run away from chaotic areas
    They blasted anti-tank weapons at those who tried to flee on foot.
    Hamas’ waves of attacks led to
    at least twelve hundred victims slaughtered,
    over fifty-four hundred injured,
    and another two hundred fifty people kidnaped
    and taken back
    into Palestine's homeland.
    Hamas and other Palestine’s armed groups were accused of
    committing war crimes
    and horrific acts
    of
    rapes,
    dreadful tortures,
    cold-heartedly treatments
    and degrading inhuman conducts.
    Many countries had publicly condemned the attacks
    They had passionately expressed solidarity for Israel
    and judiciously stated
    that “Israel has a right to defend itself”.
    Israel took the virtuous flag
    and waved the banner high
    on its troublesome sky
    of justifying
    its endless war of self-defense
    and its mission impossible to rescue hostages.
    Over one, during Israel’s non-stop war of self-defense
    Its powerful army has raked every inch of Gaza Strip.
    (the tiny piece of land
    about a one quarter of London
    and twice the size of Washington D.C.)
    Israel’s relentless assaults
    by airplanes,
    missiles,
    drones
    and artilleries
    from air, land and sea
    have turned the lively place
    into
    a living hell.
    most civilian infrastructure has destroyed
    Shopping malls, homes, buildings, schools, hospitals, etc. have collapsed.

    Israel’s ruthless troops have killed about forty-thousand Palestinians so far,
    (most of innocent victims are women and children)
    Over hundred thousand people have yet been found
    They’re considered
    either missing
    or buried under rubble of collapsed buildings.

    Israel’s war of self-defense against Hamas and other militant groups has forced
    about two point twenty-three million Palestinians to be internally displaced
    They’re either becoming refugees within their birthplace.
    or being desperate asylum seekers to Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
    (With its military’s great excuse
    of weeding
    out
    Hamas’s fighters)
    Israel’s army has rubbed more salt to the wounds,
    by imposing many so-called evacuation orders
    which have constantly pushed Palestinians around
    from one location to another
    no safe place to hide
    no way out
    like frightened ants inside a frying pan or a scorching stove.

    Israel has tightly sealed Gaza
    It has gravely threatened the survival of Palestinians
    Its military full blockade has made all humanitarian-aids
    be nearly impossible
    to reach desperate hands
    of those civilians dying in their own homeland.
    Israel’s wartime tactics has created
    severe shortages of
    medicines,
    water,
    food,
    groceries,
    and other necessities.
    Power outage is another burden to living activities
    Since electricity supply to Gaza has also been cut off.

    Israel’s so-called war of self-defense has gone wild,
    Its apartheid policies have fallen into the deaf ears
    of those of you
    who live
    in
    the West
    particularly American in the United States
    You had strongly condemned the attacks by Hamas and other militant groups
    You also righteously declared
    the massacre of twelve hundred innocent victims
    their takeaway home of two hundred fifty hostages
    as the act of terrorism.
    How could you rationalize Israel’s war on Palestine civilians?
    How could have you NOT condemned
    Israel’s mass-killings
    as war crimes?
    How would I not be called it a genocide?

    Regardless political pressures from the international community
    the governing regime in Israel
    has stubbornly
    refused
    various proposals
    for a permanent ceasefire.
    Alas, the United States has
    kept throwing her unconditional support to the war
    She has supplied Israel with her sophisticated weaponry
    and her military equipment.
    Recently her warships have been sent into the Eastern Mediterranean.

    Don’t let the ethnic cleansing go free in front of our naked eyes
    Lest we forget!
    Kristallnacht
    or the Night of Broken Glass
    the Holocaust
    the ill fates of Jews during the Second World War

    The Never-Never Land of Poetry & Your Choice of Words.

    you have something to say
    say it all
    don’t
    hold back
    ‘tis your freedom of expression
    ‘tis your wonderland on silver moon
    ‘tis your never-never land on milky way
    o’ your marvelously creative imagination.
    flap your extravagant wings
    soar as high as you could
    fly as far as you would
    no hurdle
    no obstacle
    nor whatsoever
    ‘til your daydreams are fallen off
    crashed and shattered on planet earth.

    you find yourself on a narrow trail
    the soggy ground
    full of bobby traps.
    you’re tiptoeing on an unknown path
    it’s risky,
    dicey,
    perilous,
    dangerous,
    hazardous
    precarious,
    treacherous,
    your heart is icy
    your mind’s getting numb
    your feet are getting cold
    you’d never know for sure
    where-on-earth the lethal path will lead you to?
    would
    it
    be
    a dark grave?
    a bottomless abyss?
    or the world of absolute silence?

    your mind is clogged up with cluttered thoughts
    not much oxygen left in your congested chest
    you’re about to be passed out
    you’re limping on the road to nowhere
    but the game hasn’t been over
    you ain’t totally dead
    you wanna prevent the power-outage
    you’d like to recharge your inner battery

    back to the realm of poetry from your nearly dead experience,
    you’d better walk on a thin line on your tippy toes
    your choice of words must be a lot
    more
    cautious
    and anxious.

    the fate of you and that of the poetry is dangling on a thin thread
    in the minefield of words,
    hold your breath tight.
    each line you write;
    each verse you pen;
    each stanza you mark;
    every poem you compose.
    it must meet the creative norms
    of the so-called contemporary fine art
    you'd better share with those artists and poets
    only what they'd love to hear.
    otherwise don’t expose what you freely write
    from your wild imagination
    to anyone else.
    keep it to you for yourself
    or burn it in your scorching wood-stove
    to keep you warm on those chilly nights.

    go, go, go,

    go wild with the wind

    ‘til either you get lost

    in darkness

    at its utmost depths

    or you go astray

    on freeways

    of your bottomless void

    down the rabbit hole.

     

    oh, oh, oh,

    howl, howl, howl

    howl aloud with the wolf

    at a silvery moon

    tormenting moans vibrate your hollow shell

    echo loneliness o’ our inner-self

    it resonates your dreams

    of affection

    and love from your mate

    you’re hungry for compassion

    and companionship from your pack

    ‘til you get exhausted out of air

    the moon drowned in dark clouds

    it’ll go deep down in bottomless waters

    and you fall asleep in absolute silence.

    oh, oh, oh,

    uh, uh, uh.

    sway, sway, sway

    sway insane with the evil

    rhythmically on a sizzling floor

    jump, jump, jump

    jump dumb with the con-artist

    on his wide weave of deception

    you’re caught on a sticky cobweb

    becoming a diehard disciple

    o’ his radical cult

    your sacred savior

    The Awful Con Artist

    what the hell is he
    that makes
    you
    believe
    in him so much?
    you are clueless about the clever con-artist
    you’re so innocent in your belief as well
    you let him take the lead in politics
    with
    the false hope
    of him driving you
    safely
    on the road
    to a heaven-on-earth.

    he has successfully allured many of you
    into the mist of his trickeries
    he drives you directly to
    a burning
    hell
    of
    his deceiving cobwebs.
    he baits you to trade your gold for his shit;
    He skillfully makes you believe it’s a good deal.

    you’ve been trusting the wrong man so much
    that you honestly put your nation
    and your destinies
    in his malicious
    hands.
    somewhat, you faithfully believe
    that you act accordingly
    to your patriotism
    you’ve been proud
    of
    your surfs
    on the waves
    of his rising populism.
    you lend him your strong supports
    so, he would help you
    make your life better
    and “Make America Great Again”.

    people have gradually become aware of his egotism.
    he has been doing nothing for no one
    but serving his monetary benefits
    and mainly saving

    his own skin
    from
    being put

    behind bars.

    people are no longer too ingenuous to be fooled forever;
    so soon as they become aware of their wallets
    that have been somewhat drained

    and their nation is falling in danger of dictatorship.
    many of them have already
    jumped
    off
    his sinking ship.

    what the heck are you waiting for?

    stand up for your freedom

    and for your nation’s democracy

    hold your wallets tight
    and put your votes right

    from
    being stolen
    or being cheated

    by such an awfully talented con artist

    the old fella fools you once, shame on him;

    the fat guy cheats you twice, shame on you;
    the asshole tricks you three times, damn your empty wallets!
    the same shit deceives you many more, damn your divided county!

    My Crude Joke of the Day

    Are American Intellectuals NOT as SMART as Viet MAGA?

     how could it happen?

    must there be something wrong?

    eighty-two American Nobel Prize

    winners

    go

    against

    Donald Trump,

    the MAGA boss,

    the true son of God,

    the god’s chosen prophet,

    and the modern Jesus of born-again Christians.

     those American intellectuals must have their brains dead

    they seem as stupid as a piece of rock.

    they know nothing

    about

    “the truths”

    simply because, they have

    neither watched

    nor listened

    to

    extensive coverage

    from rightwing media outlets

    such as Fox News, Breitbart News,

    NewsMax, WorldNetDaily, Rhino Times, and so on…

    also, they haven’t followed Trump’s

    immeasurable

    posts

    through his endlessly sleepless-nights

    on the Truth Social (a version of Soviet’s Pravda).

    it’s likely they’ve never swallowed

    any sweet drops

    of Trump’s so-called weave of words

    at all of Trump’s mind-numbing campaign rallies and interviews.

     in addition, those world-wide recognized celebs

    can only speak damned

    English

    not

    pretty Vietnamese.

    they cannot comprehend tons of materials

    in Vietnamese language

    translated

    by

    AI

    or Google trans.

    how can the American intellectuals

    be

    as smart as

    all MAGA-Vietnamese?

    those old Viet chaps are

    extremely

    fluent

    in their mother tongue.

    they’ve stalwartly supported

    their God’s chosen

    Trump

    ‘til

    their

    last day on earth

    in the vast land of great America.

     

    anyway, they’ve proudly believed in Trump’s ability

    to somewhat magically

    help them

    achieve

    their pipe dream

    of exterminating socialism, communism, Marxism, and whatsoever else.

    all American citizens,

    (from

    superstars in the spotlights

    to homeless guys on side streets)

    those who apparently go against the MAGA boss Donald Trump,

    and do not support his “Make America Great Again” crusade

    must

    be

    socialists,

    Marxists,

    and communists.

    they are politicallyTrump’s enemies within.

    eighty-two American Nobel Prize winners

    and all other dissidents

    no matter

    they’re on the left or the right

    they’re white, black, brown or yellow

    if any of them

    dare

    ignore

    Trump’s urgent

    needs of strong support.

    they must be scared to death

    as Trump has harshly threatened

    if he’d be crowned again,

    he’ll drive

    their peaceful lives

    to Satan's suffering hell without trials.

    indeed, Donald Trump

    is

    going to

    MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”

    to the same extent as North Korea.

    On Diverse Food Cultures

    (Eating Dogs, Eating Cats v. Eating Pigs and Eating Cows)

     Those of you who are habituated meat eaters in the West

    don’t eat dogs.

    You also don’t eat cats.

    Since, you raise these two domesticated animals

    as your exquisite pets for your best companionship.

    Your pets offer you endless emotional support.

    whenever your life is in a mess;

    your days are in darkness;

    They lift you out of the blue.

    They ease your lonesomeness.

     Unlike any humans who care for your well-beings

    those truly want to back you up

    and know how to put your feet firmly on the shaky ground.

    They’re the ones you love and you often meet or the ones you scarcely know.

    Those include your spouses,

    your partners,

    your lovers,

    your parents,

    your siblings,

    your relatives,

    your friends,

    your neighbors

    and strangers at any places.

    Dogs and cats are unconditionally faithful to you

    without creating any slight headache.

    They make your bad day good

    and your good day will be much better.

    They never ask anything in return.

    They take everything from you in outright silence,

    without any questions

    with no protests,

    no grievances,

    no complaints,

    no criticisms,

    no demands,

    no blames,

    no hassles,

    and especially no bullshit or whatsoever

    that would make you feel uncomfortable.

    They delightfully take both your joys and your foolishness.

    Dog and cats are the partners to

    be easily associated with,

    or effortlessly live with,

    in peace and harmony,

    during the course of their short lifespan.

     Hence, on a cultural perspective and the moral pride of your socially living norms

    You have all damn good reasons to be mad like hell,

    whenever you hear about any horribly sad news

    related to senseless deaths of dogs and cats.

    You believe it or not;

    Nowadays,

    People in many countries are still eating dogs.

    They’re eating cats.

     An estimate of thirty million dogs

    butchered each year

    for human consumption in Asia.

    Tis

    includes

    about a half million in Philippines,

    around one million in Indonesia

    nearly five million in Viet Nam

    almost one million in South Korea,

    and roughly twenty million in China.

    Dogs are also butchered for food in certain African countries

    such as Ghana, Cameroon, Congo, and Nigeria.

    Farmers in remote parts of Switzerland still love eating dog meat.

     Of the same kind, cattle are farmed for meat in the West.

    Most dogs for meat selling on the market

    in various parts of Asia,

    are raised

    at a small-scale in countless back-yards of private homes,

    but mainly on large-scale in professionally organized dog farms.

    South Korea is notorious for her seventeen thousand dog farms.

    Eighty million dogs or so could be stolen dogs

    and illegally exported every year

    from Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.

     Vietnam, China, Taiwan, and South Korea have recently banned dog meat,

    in response to their desperate needs of extra attraction to tourism

    for their critical thirst of,

    their severe hungry for,

    Euros

    and Dollars.

    They optimistically expect tidal waves

    from an immense sea of hard currency

    rolling out of generous foreigners’ thick pockets.

     Those governing elites have no choice

    but instantaneously force their nations

    to alter their traditional food culture.

    This knee-jerk reaction has devastated impact on the local hospitality industry

    It has pushed all specialized-dog-meat restaurants to shut down for good.

    It has driven food service workers and self-employed people out of work.

    Millions of dollars of the dog trade have been flushed to the toilet.

    Dog-meat lovers illicitly butcher dogs and cook at homes

    or they must find any underground food carts

    selling outlandish dog-dishes

    on empty streets

    or inside dark alleys.

    (Money is a magic wand.

    Hard currency from the West

    has

    efficiently crushed

    the most popular food culture

    of eating dogs ‘n and eating cats in various parts of Asia.

    By the way, whether, you worship money or disgust it;

    You can’t deny the fact

    that money can be used to buy any almighty Divinity

    or be donated to churches for full payment of a nice mansion in God's Heaven.)

     You were born in the West.

    And if you are meat eaters

    You’re eating pigs

    You’re eating cows, oxen, bulls, bullocks, steers, heifers, and calves

    Livestock and cattle are farmed for meat on your kitchen tables.

     

    According to various studies, pigs are smarter than dogs.

    Pigs are more trainable than any breed of dogs.

    Their intelligence is equal to those of the three-year-old children

    Pigs are ranked as the fifth most intelligent animal in the world.

    It’s sardonic that you cold-heartedly enjoy

    the ridiculous

    deaths

    of one and a half billion PIGS annually

    Isn’t it your food culture

    a genocide

    of pigs?

    What the hell on earth you culturally believe

    eating dogs

    is

    inhuman

    and this must be outlawed?

    Also, you disgustingly look down on dog eaters.

     Let’s talk about the yearly deaths

    of nearly three million COWS

    those provide

    milk

    to

    your kids,

    your family,

    your whole countries,

    and other human beings on earth

    How do you feel when you kill cows for meat?

    Do you know?

    Cows often panic and suffer in the most heartbreaking way,

    when they see other cows lying slaughtered on the floor.

    They apparently recognize what is about to happen.

    Their fear literally is a mortal agony.

    And they really do realize this.

     You may believe that slaughtering pigs and cows

    for pork and beef

    is

    humanely kind

    and compassionately fine.

    You demand your food culture

    must

    be

    legally sanctioned

    and morally appreciated.

    Is your society sophisticatedly civilized by any means?

    Oppositely, the food culture of eating dogs and eating cats

    is ethically wrong

    that must be officially banned;

    since it’s unscrupulous cuisines in other brutalized nations.

     It’s culturally biased.

    You eagerly accept slaughtering cows and pigs for meat,

    while you harshly condemn butchering dogs or cats for food.

    What’s the difference in the killings?

     Don’t forget the inevitable fact

    We –human beings are the product of our own culture.

    For the sake of mutual peace and harmony

    Let Us not start any war of words

    Since it might lead to an ever-ending culture war

    You keep your food consuming tradition

    They retain their own eating habits

    And I personally take care of mine.

    It makes all of us happy to respectfully live together.

     Practically, it doesn’t matter much

    Whether

    You eat pigs and eat cows;

    They eat dog and eat cats;

    I eat meat from other animals.

    Regretfully,

    We,

    meat eaters

    have generated endless deaths

    anguishes,

    sufferings,

    pains,

    and grief,

    to all other living beings

     Wouldn’t we better completely ban all meat consumption on the planet earth?

    And tis the only way to save the endless deaths of all other living beings.

    On Contemporary Fine Art and Performing Art

    The Art of Luring Humans Mind

     On Contemporary Fine Art and Performing Art

    The Art of Luring Human's Mind

    He is virtually a conceptual artist.
    He has the most gifted talent
    He'd take any abstract concepts
    from the dark labyrinth
    inside
    his highly creative mind
    to create awe-inspiring artworks
    that could be sold for a million bucks.
    But don't worry about the price tag!
    He'll make it affordable to everyone
    Since he knows very well
    about capitalism,
    its free market,
    and how the law of demand and supply works.
    Moreover he's a decent man who thinks of mutual benefits
    Thus he always considers the affordability of your purchasing power.

    Come hell or high water, this performing artist has become a megastar
    throughout your fractured nation
    and around the world.
    He is
    so
    renowned
    that is brazenly inspired
    and admired by his promises of salvage,
    hundred millions of fans cherish, adore, idolize, and worship him.
    To a certain extent, they've been converted to diehard believers
    of his artistically created
    but religiously
    weird
    cult
    o' modern politics.

    He attracts many of you to be engaged in
    his astoundingly patriotic mission
    of making your country great again,
    of easing your hardships in daily living,
    and of providing you with a brighter future.

    He has reassured you of your security.
    In his numerous public speeches,
    he promises to safeguard your country
    to prevent asylum seekers
    from crossing her southern border.
    he has confirmed
    he'll seal it tightly
    with
    more concrete walls
    and razor-wire fences.
    Yet, he has ever offered any solid policy
    or whatsoever to back up his rosy promises.
    Regardless, he helps you sleep well and tight at night
    He makes you feel at ease
    of being
    safe
    secured,
    and well protected
    from being invaded by aliens to your neighborhood.

    Anyway, his awesome promises are very alluring melodies.
    He lullabies your worrisome minds
    He makes you faithfully believe
    he is your god's chosen-man
    he who is your reborn Jesus
    not only helps you make your nation great again,
    but also saves manhood from being doomed in World War III.

    By hook or by crook, his luring words could
    lullaby your
    minds
    to eternally sound sleeps
    and make you contemplate everything
    he promotes
    is monetarily the best deal.
    he has notoriously offered you countless choices
    from his creatively artistic merchandises
    those include red hats,
    leather shoes,
    silver coins,
    digital collectibles,
    and lookalike Swiss-made golden watches.
    (at the throat-slashing price tag of one hundred thousand dollars each.)
    And last but not least, this son of God and the so-called patriot
    also sells copies
    of his almighty Father's Bible
    and of your beloved nation's constitution,
    at the most affordable price of only fifty nine dollars and ninety-nine cent each.
    This fantastic book helps you comprehend
    both your legal rights
    and your religious belief.
    You're no longer dependable on
    not any lawyers
    for your legal problems
    nor any priests for your prayers.
    And all of your headaches are gone.
    You'll be happy as a dog or a cat without any fleas.

    In a broader sense, he is the best performing artist
    of the contemporary fine art
    particularly,
    in the field of artistic deception
    wherein those professionals are notoriously known as con-artists.

    Unless you are atheists,
    or you are brain-dead,
    or you're other religious believers,
    Who the hell of a belief in Jesus
    would
    not worship
    and support the leadership
    of such a God's chosen-man?

    -"By hook or by crook": by any possible means.)

    The Law of Man and the Law of Jungle

    Man makes laws for his own safety
    and for his orderly society.

    It doesn’t matter wherever he lives

    in the bush,
    in a rural village,

    in a big city,
    in a house,
    on a street,
    or any other places.

    Regardless
    of
    his social status,
    his country of birth,
    his education level,
    his family background…

    And whether he’s strong or weak;
    he’s small or big;
    he’s short or tall;
    he’s poor or rich;
    he’s white, black, yellow, red, or brown.

    Every human being is required to abide by the law of man.
    everybody is expected to socially behave
    in a certain manner
    collectively
    agreed.
    in return, all humans are supposed to be equally treated
    The man-made law protects all law-abiders.
    It punishes all law-violators
    exactly
    the same way
    without any prejudice.

    Love it or hate it;
    believe it or reject it;
    man has no other choice,
    but to comply with his own rules of the living game.
    Otherwise, he will be crushed by his self-made legal system.

    While the man-made law sounds fairly impartial and logically civilized on paper;
    it leaves many loopholes
    to be easily exploited

    by
    scam artists,

    legal experts,
    political elites,

    governing distators,
    criminal godfathers,
    underground gangster bosses...


    In practice, the law of man is crueler than the law of the jungle.
    In the wild, animals fight for their
    very
    basic survival needs,
    mainly for food and territories.

    In his so-called civilized society,
    man always fight 
    NOT

    for his own living

    BUT for what he is

    not really
    in need
    of.

    Man is often at war with each other,
    he usually kills his own people and other species
    purely for fame, power, authority, profits, and glory.

    Wouldn’t human have more peace to live with the law of the jungle
    and to throw away his self-made law
    in a trash
    bin?

    GOD BLESS YOU

    (Song Lyrics)

    ho, ho, ho

    oh man

    welcome here
    what a luxurious lifestyle
    from your first day on earth
    you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth
    no need to lift your fingers for anythin’
    you take things for granted

    uh, uh, uh
    no, no, no
    you would never know
    how poor people could meet their survival needs
    you don’t believe
    day after day
    from dawn to dusk
    lower-class works hard for very basic livings
    most live from hand to mouth
    selling their manual or intellectual labors
    to capitalists like you on the free market for a wage.

    oh my god
    hey, hey, hey
    your free-will exploitation
    so heartless
    so merciless
    so pitiless
    so cruel
    anyway it’s somebody’s weakness
    someone else’s problems
    no hesitation to take advantage of
    why pay any damn care?
    you certainly don’t
    and never will

    oh, oh, oh
    yes, yes, yes
    you take, take, take
    take it all
    nonstop
    all what you want
    not what you really need
    who the hell of mankind
    dun wanna take it
    you name it all
    money, power, glory, fame..

    oh, oh, oh
    no, no, no
    you don’t even miss a cent
    from everybody’s pockets
    how much is enough?
    never enough
    ever satisfactory
    addiction becomes your disease,
    your malady,
    the syndrome of your mental disorder

    eh, eh, eh,
    hey, hey, hey
    yay, yay, yay,
    old man
    you’ve never been handling a manual job
    you’ve played golf nearly full time
    you eat too much junk-food
    you drink too much coke
    you look like five month pregnant
    your fat belly is saggy the knee
    you think you’re handsome
    much better than her look
    you think you’re smart
    you know everything from a to z
    you say
    she’s dumb
    she a hoax

    oh, oh, oh
    no, no, no
    nah, nah, nah
    ah, ah, ah man!
    how it would happen
    you could not believe
    the silver spoon in your mouth is about to be taken away
    how the hell she worked at McDonald in the past
    now she’s competing with you for the throne.

    the game will be over soon
    the finish line is near
    ease your fear
    of being left far behind
    keep blaming the socialists, the communists,
    and all of whoever in the whole world
    for their fault of driving you nut
    to endlessly sleepless nights
    in panic, terror, distress, anxiety

    oh my god
    if you win you’ll force them for paybacks at full price
    if you lose
    no big deal
    you’ll harvest what you’ve sowed
    no one is above the laws

    god bless you
    old man
    ah men
    amen!
