Carry on

a poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

While the handsome Prince William
is cleaning kitchen floors in Chile,
the Israelis use tanks and gunships
against Palestinians who have the gall
to throw stones at them.
The multinationals rule the world
and democracy is a cosmetic word
used by the mighty when giving us horns.
So, who wants to know?
Let’s have another picture of the loo cleaning
Prince being just like the rest of us
