there is a tower on fire in london
full of ordinary people
government housing
the american government
is preoccupied
every day
with president embarrassement
there is a looming election in austria
just like last year
the eu is not happy
italy and greece
have many refugees
some eastern countries
including austria
refuse to take any
austria has taken many
there has been solidarity
among the people
but also much cowardice
in government
cowardice and cunning
unscrupulousness
take your pick
the fire’s still burning
