Earth died Screaming



"Earth Died Screaming"

Rudy's on the midway
And Jacob's in the hole
The monkey's on the ladder
The devil shovels coal
With crows as big as airplanes
The lion has three heads
And someone will eat the skin that he sheds
And the earth died screaming
The earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming of you

Well hell doesn't want you
And heaven is full
Bring me some water
Put it in this skull
I walk between the raindrops
Wait in Bug House Square
And the army ants
They leave nothin' but the bones
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming of you

There was thunder
There was lightning
Then the stars went out
And the moon fell from the sky
It rained mackerel
It rained trout
And the great day of wrath has come
And here's mud in your big red eye
The poker's in the fire
And the locusts take the sky
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming of you

Tom Waits *December 7, 1949)

Happy New Year!

And all the best.
What depends me, it will not become the same procedure as every year.
Looking forward to that.
This morning I read that Apes and monkeys die as fire rips through German zoo; afterwards I read that millions of primates enjoyed watching fireworks in Berlin, London, Paris and – of course! – in Sydney. Tough primates there. Real heroes.
By the way, while I am writing this the net primate-population growth today – January 1st, 2020 – has reached 212,000.
All primates, considering themselves homo sapiens sapiens.
Ha ha ha.

Every Year Again

Alle Jahre wieder**
Kommt das Christuskind
Auf die Erde nieder,
Wo wir Menschen sind.

Kehrt mit seinem Segen
Ein in jedes Haus,
Geht auf allen Wegen
Mit uns ein und aus.
*
Every year again
Comes the Christ Child
Down to earth
Where we humans are.

Stops with its blessing
At every house
Walks on all paths
With us in and out.
* * For the past twelve years I have been posting this very "Christmas"-photo "every year again". The accompanying texts: different.
Nothing has changed for the better. Callousness, egoism, greed, hypocrisy and – above all – stupidity are obviously increasing at the same speed as (wo)mankind is proliferating.
In this sense: Merry Christmas.
Enjoy life as long as you can.
And don't feel guilty!
Humbleness is for the others, eh?!

You are entering Free Britain now

It's not about The Cockroach.





 It's about the mindset of a "majority".*

 Good night, England, and good luck.


* The cockroaches will teach them, anyway.
