First too late, then again too early, in a time supposed to reflect and remorse. The drunkard still stumbles awkwardly to the bar. There he watches sports dully, listens absent-mindedly to the news, hears and sees West and East spat angrily at each other.

An announcer calls out: When is enough finally enough now? But just like the Ukraine, Israel also does get exhausted and tired sooner or later. And while the West quickly begins to rave herself out, Russia is only really speeding up now.

Therefore, the night sky turns red again with bomb glow and the East thereby gets renewed courage. While next of kin greet each other heartbreakingly, cities and towns are painted red with human blood. As always, Africa is waving the beggar’s hat again, but this is unsympathetically sneered at.

The world court is trying to prevent all this with their rulings now. Yes, by fining various countries according to their beliefs and discretion. But these, as well as their ambassadors, are mockingly told to “fuckoff”, yes, to scoot. And as black as soot, the dark, obscure world-night now becomes disgustingly gall bitter.

With the weather to the uttermost now extreme, the storms rage unceasingly, destructively, so furiously. It repeats over and over, in unprecedented flood upon flood. In sweat and toil, many a farmer now grows weary. Because from early in the morning until the late-night glow, their governments break their courage.
