The Great Separation

FROM THE POETRY TZAR:

The Great Leader to the People of Leaderonia
on the Eve of the Great Separation

Wait for me, and I will return.
Only truly wait.
Wait while bringing sorrow
The autumn rains come late.
Wait while snow is blowing,
Wait while heat burns haze,
Wait while others cease to wait,
Forgetting yesterdays.
Wait when letters cease to come
From places far away,
Wait, while others tire of waiting
Together day after day.

Wait for me, and I will return.
Wish no good to those you've met
Who tell you, without thinking,
That it is time to forget.
Let my son and mother believe
That I have met my doom,
Let my friends all quit their hopes,
In the fire-lit gloom
Let them drink their bitter wine,
In memoriam...
Wait. Oh, do not hasten
To sit and drink with them.

Wait for me, and I will return,
Despite all death can do.
Let those who didn't wait for me
Say "Just lucky he came through."
Those who didn't wait can't know
How, while battle blazed,
Just by waiting for your own
Me you truly saved.
We will know how I survived
Only just us two:
Simply, you knew how to wait
As no one else could do.
Wait for me, and I will return,
Despite all death can do.
Let those who didn't wait for me
Say "Just lucky he came through."
Those who didn't wait can't know
How, while battle blazed,
Just by waiting for your own
Me you truly saved.
We will know how I survived
Only just us two:
Simply, you knew how to wait
As no one else could do.

Bad example

LEADERONIA-Returning from a 4 Boroughs tour in the city
of New York, west of Leaderonia, in which our Great Leader
battled against multinational burocracies, the Great Leader
sat down for a quick comment on Energy policy.
"Leadoronia" he said "has adopted the rule of conservationism".
When a member of the Free Press ask the GL to comment on
the current foreign affairs regarding the neighboring United
States and the Islamic Republic of Iran, our Great Leader boasted:
"How hypocritical is to wage war to a sovereign country in order
to establish freedom and democracy which translate in
mere Free trade dictatorship, and then deny negotiations
with another sovereign country for its engagement in its own energy
programs". He went on saying that if the Western community wants
the iranians to quit their own program, fearing a weapon escalation
which could drain the weak economies of both sides of the Atlantic,
they have to quit their own and disarm completely, just as they preach
around the Mideast region, except Israel.
Leaving the conference, the GL went up to the fourth floor of the
Leaders Palace, where a makeshift camp has been established after last
monday evacuation of all properties into Fort LIC. From the 4th floor
the GL is preparing monday's invasion of Old Europe.

The Separation

The Great Leader was happy to hear this morning on the radio
news, while preparing the reduced milk foam for his first and most
important cappuccino of the day, that somebody in Leaderonia's
neighboring country, the United States of America, had the brilliant idea
to move the teaching of Intelligent Design from Science to Philosophy.

Leaderonia does not ban the practice of religion, although it is forbidden
to practice less than 12 doctrines at the times, and the Law of Education
provides room for studying the Book (the Bible , NFTSOTGL), and other
religious Texts, on weekends, from midnight to 5 AM.

The Great Leader had always expressed great admiration for fictional
accounts of the mistery of Life, he often refer and quote from the Book
(the Bible , NFTSOTGL), and he regards the controversy as a pretext from
religious organizations to obtain monetary funds and tax exemptions
from the weak central governement.

The Constitution of the USA provides a law that institutionalizes the
separation of Church from State. Over the years, however, especially
since the leadership was given to a former alcohol abuser and heir of a
privileged family, the fundamentalists extremists have infiltrated the
governments and the Congress (the People's representative body) and
have hammered at the constitution in order to change the meaning
of State.
The Great Leader understands the need of the fundamentalists to get
rich with taxpayers money, but he does not think it is fair for the rest
of the citizens of that country, which in numbers are the majority.
After thinking long and hard the Great Leader has come up with a
compromise that will make everyone loose. His advice to the US
Government is to amend the Constitution and switch the word "STATE"
with the word "BANK".

The Invasion of Europe

( click on the image above to see all the details of the Grand Plan )

LEADERONIA-Over a year and an half of strategizing and plotting
and preparing the invasion of the old land of the italic peninsula,
in central Mediterranean Sea, Our Great Leader resurfaced for a
coffee break.
The Grand Plan was revealed and the Official Poster was issued to
illustrate the strategy for the post-invasion, which contains a
dubious date.
The Segretariat does not comment on the question over the fact the
plan has been lifted from a previous invasion by the Allied called
Marshall Plan. Analysts have taken a good look at the Official Poster
\and they will call a press conference to outline the foundation of
this doubt.
Despite the discontent of the people of Leaderonia, whom they feel
abandoned by his presence, Our Great Leader was seen in a good
mood and relaxed, and well fed.
A senior official from the Department of Propaganda confirmed the
rumors based on a widespread belief that the Great Leader will have
a speech before the Invasion.
