Petrodollar Portrait
acryl on board, 03. 2015turn around strategists redirecting black gold
into the sanctions of traffic and flow or no-go
@ 1.00$ or .50 cents/l. (weather permitting)
."..give us our daily oil, oh Lord and Sheik"
a global circus with no yield or stop
the signs keep moving ,the frontline dances two-step a dime
forward and backward, uptown downtown,right wing
left wing, in and out and roundabout
black gold with a shot of blood for Cold Wars and Hot Wars,
--'roll out the barrels
roll out the barrels of guns.
U-Turn on Death Toll Road N1
YOUR TURN
U-TURN
- its your turn too.
U-TURN
- its your turn too.
Minister in the Presidency C. Chabane and 2 bodyguards
killed in a collision on the N1 caused by a drunken driver
attempting an illegal turn around strategy for his illicit truck
under cover of night

wer rast so schnell
durch Nachtschwarz wie blind
es sind zwei Leibwachen und ihr Prinz......
von 200 Pferdestaerken gebruell das Ettappenziel eiliger naht und
200 Stundenkilometer frueher am Ziel morgen als hier um Mitternacht:
das Bummheil ist dada . ob Unfall, ob Schicksal
in diesem Fall mit grossem trara und Krawall . Im nirgendwo, da oder da,
ungeplant und unvorschriftsmaessig , -(es war Nacht) -
und blind trifft die Buschjustiz ein Zufalls -Ziel
der Missbrauch regelwidriger Privilegien -
beendet , da
-da regelwidrig der beidseitige Missbrauch der Regeln die Regel war-, dasein.
Klar.
Unter Ausschluss der Oeffentlichkeit
kracht Blech da auf Stahl,
zerfleischen Schreie aus Fleisch den Koerper ,
wird Metall kopflos
und rollen Reifen fassungslos ins Grab.

"He feels no disgust at his faeces, values them as a portion of his own body with which he will not readily part, and makes use of them as his first ‘gift,’ to distinguish people whom he values highly… he carries on his high valuation of faeces in his estimate of ‘gifts’ and ‘money.’. . there are many people who retain a voluptuous feeling in defaecating all through their lives….From the very first, children are one in thinking that babies must be born through the bowel; they must make their appearance like lumps of faeces--"
