The Chance Operations Of Short History And Features Of The World Literature Into Verse Paragraph
20 January, 2019

World literature is sometimes used to refer to the sum total of the world's national literatures, but usually it refers to the circulation of works into the wider world beyond their country of origin. Often used in the past primarily for masterpieces of Western European literature, world literature today is increasingly seen in global context. Readers today have access to an unprecedented range of works from around the world in excellent translations, and since the mid-1990s a lively debate has grown up concerning both the aesthetic and the political values and limitations of an emphasis on global processes over national traditions.

A NEW HABITAT IN ANTARCTICA
Poet Chan Mongol
December 8 of 2019
...

Education is a lucrative corrupt market BUT offered as a method of transmitting knowledge and insight,
Freedom is torture and terror BUT defined as the right to do and say what you like,
Truth is manufactured by powerful leaders BUT regarded as the opposite of falsehood,
Honor killing is an abominable heinous practice But adored as an honorable glorious event.

Chabi Maenga bought me a chicken. It took two, three hours to cook in the big black pot and was still tough as our leather boots. A goodbye gift to me, upon my leaving the district, leaving the passenger seat by his side.

Chabi had met me in Gaborone with a newly-issued 1978 model Toyota, a boxy thing that bounced crazily on the dirt tracks but was considered state of the art at the time. We drove north until the paved road ran out, then north east across the remote reaches of the Northern Kalahari to my new duty station in Maun. We slept half-way at Serowe, at the 'we are working together' cooperative hotel, under thatch. On the second day we skirted two of the four long walls enclosing the richest diamond mine in the world and tracked the elongated fence that separated buffalo, endemic with foot-and-mouth disease, from cattle. We swung north once more as we reached the side of the 'vanishing lake', Ngami, that in some years confirmed its presence on the standard maps, and in others was simply no-where to be found. All depended on the rains in distant Angola.

Well, I think home spat me out, the blackouts and curfews like tongue against loose tooth. God, do you know how difficult it is, to talk about the day your own city dragged you by the hair, past the old prison, past the school gates, past the burning torsos erected on poles like flags? When I meet others like me I recognise the longing, the missing, the memory of ash on their faces. No one le

Working like slaves with sweat upon their brows.

We are told that we have got freedom yet not freedom to do as we like

Ours is such a limited freedom we are not as free as a breeze.

City Council, mayor, ignoring the real issues of illegal immigration, passing the buck, blaming the feds for their inadequecies in dealing with them.
Building day labor camps instead to keep them off the streets, using taxpayers money to give to illegals instead of deporting them the way they should.
Jobs going to illegals as managers, general managers, district managers at fast food restaurants instead of arresting them and hiring legal citizens of America.

Serious and yet serene, thinking about obama and what
he's doing to destroy America.

Causing mayhem, trying to cover his lies with illusions,

Dr. Ben Carson quietly speaking, yet very inspiring,
filled with strength and conviction, wanting to secure
the United States.

Watching videos, talking to people all over the nation about
all the cheating, lying and media collusion trying to hide
bad and evil things democrats are doing.

Listening to politicians talk, Bill Montgomery talking now,

Standing against illegal immigration, putting forth the
truth about what the 14th amendment means in reality,

Stepping into the future, watching visions of beauty

Failing to see any reason to not stop immigration and
close our borders to protect citizens of the United
States from all the usurpers of justice.

A Haibun

Since I opened the pages of 'Being and Time, ' his words, 'Death is a way to be, which Dasein takes over as soon as it is, ' have lingered in the back of my mind for a week, like a silent check on my immigration dream: being a poet who can write in an adopted tongue and find his own way by moonlight.
