Should we not blow upon the Olympic Flame?

B'Ching 2'08

I don't know why people

Think the Olympics is any good

For changing the world.

I remember when we had

A car accident. That changed

The world; but we got along

Without thinking about it

Very much. Very much I

Wonder why sending two seventy

Year olds to fry in the pan, out

Of the fire, for 12 months, 'coz

They chose to perspire on down to

The Heavenly Court of Applications

For an Official Permit to Protest

In an Officially Designated Protest

Area against the Beijing Olympics

Is indicative of Change in

The world. Then I remember

That car accident. I do not forget

I don't know why people do

Not always come to a full stop

At the right time. I cannot.

Believe the Olympics is Any good.

=========================

[It was reported two seventy year old women were sentenced to 12 months re-education in a labour camp for applying for a Protest Permit, as above stated, their reason being they were evicted from their homes to make way for it. An exceptional Olympics? No: friends of mine in Sydney suffered a similar fate, evicted from homes their landlords willed to rent out for exhorbitant rents in the time period of the 2000 Games, "the Best Ever!!".]
