Oh Lucca

why do you hide your beauty?

no…

you’re not a Milan

a Rome

or even a Florence

but greens from every palette

adorn your hills and valleys

freshness pervades your air

water pure as crystal

What’s that I hear?

Lucida Mansi

her palazzo there

in Lucca town

filled with silken gold

treasured paintings

four poster draped exquisitely

how can that compare?

Lucida of my maternal line

was it you enticed me here?

Dedicated to my maternal great grandmother Raffaela Marisi Mansi Grego (Greco) -the Mansi name probably originated in Saxony. Mansi ancestors moved to Italy as wealthy silk traders when Italy was ruled by Germany.

Julia Gillard

THE GLASS CEILING

Australian media, white and bigoted

led by Murdoch, his wealth he gloated

brought down a Prime Minister

by means most foul and sinister

She a female, fair of skin and red of hair

had every right to be sitting there

she had broken through the ceiling

shattering glass that left us reeling

Many a policy she implemented

with her team she then cemented

for the good of this great nation

there was a reason for celebration

But alas hatred, nastiness and spite

sought her out all day and night

up until the very end she worked

not one day did she ever shirk

She’ll leave the Ruddy mess behind

for all those men to mock and grind

for she has better teams to lead

and have no doubt she will succeed!

Beware! Democracy has morphed into Murdochracy!

Murdochracy is real …  Rupert Murdoch (Newscorp) forms a triad: “USA, UK and Australia (Pine Gap) are the Zionist triad. Murdoch is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations promoting world-wide Zionist agenda. Seven Oz MPs are entitled to dual Israeli citizenship in breach of s44(1).”

Australians, beware. That ‘she’ll be right’ attitude is wearing thin! The rot is setting in …. “The most civilized nations are as close to barbarity as the most polished iron is close to rust. Nations, like metals, shine only on the surface”. – Antoine de Rivarol
