...but you had a goal, didn't you?


Rotten tomatoes

    Thrown on your face.

You close your eyes

    And keep on the speech...

There was a time when

They were white roses

    though with no smell

When even you believed

    In your speech

‘Cause you had an aim, remember?

 Too soon we forget

Too soon you knew

    this world you could not save

If only a little change...

Thus, now you see

    It’s too late.

For it had nothing to do with it

But with them

    standing behind your shade.

And money bought you

    As it bought them...

Rotten tomatoes

On your face say:

     History recalls

    What they could never learn.

ah... Nice comments. Thank you my dear friends...

I am not into politics at all... And this is just the way I see it.
'Intimate' is how we see life in whichever matter.
'Different' , maybe or especially because:

These days in Spain we are being bombarded with electoral campaings to elect our local chiefs. Huge amounts of money spent on posters with their silly faces saying, 'Hey look at me: I can do it'...

There is such a big disppointment in people's lives because of this crisis. How dare they promise anything at all?
Same dog with different collar, we say here.
it's the same old pantomime...
Yet, they know someone they can still get to deceive...(including me!!?)
