STATUS QUO
*****************************
Far from being
the smartest people on earth,
we may well be the dumbest.
The evidence is overwhelming.
It took us 600 years to realize
Turks did not deserve our loyalty
and another 60 years to conclude
Russians are not our Big Brothers.
*
Again and again
we have failed to convince the Yanks
that the Genocide is not a figment
of our collective imagination.
Turks on the other hand
have been more than successful
In convincing them
our status in the Ottoman Empire
was that of Indians
on the American continent.
*
If pain is the most effective way
of exposing an aspect of reality
(according to Schopenhauer)
the question we must ask is:
What have we learned
from our genocide
beside being divided and ruled
by compulsive and habitual liars?
