Poem - the electrocuted sheep

the electrocuted sheep a by-product of an iterative process,

itself leading to a successful dream.

The stereotypical android not really concerned with public opinion

and most admirably - not pretending,

unlike many of the political 'dead'.

The universal term zombie having to be withdrawn,

due to an ideological complaint, from the zombie union.

This did not come as a surprise,

voting turnout correlation analysis in the Freestate

consigning the political party zombies to the over qualified scrapheap.

The union involvement only at the 3rd floor of their long fall,

i.e. on the way down, for the optimists or slow learners.

Since we have covered dead politicians, zombies, optimists and slow learners,

there's no one left, except the clergy or those with varying levels of religious stupidity.

As we approach our own migration to silicon, in the near term,

any discourse on an imaginary god  and/or  her groupies is time wasted.

Salute to Che Guevara

Che Guevara

Once again... October 9 2014 marks 47 years since the fall in combat of Ernesto Che Guevara, freedom fighter and legendary guerilla born: June 14, 1928, Rosario, Argentina.

His father Ernest Guevara Lynch said "The first thing to note is that in my son's veins flowed the blood of the Irish rebels", he said in a 1969 interview. He went on: "Che inherited some of the features of our restless ancestors. There was something in his nature which drew him to distant wandering, dangerous adventures and new ideas".



As an Irishman I must again reiterate my immense pride in the fact that Che Guevara has family connections with Ireland.

a toast to Che... y hasta siempre
