Miserable Landscape Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Miserable Landscape



Walls
And the foolish enemy, sons of fools and grandchildren
of idiots build a wall in the desert to protect them from
The horde of poncho-clad hombre In sombreros seeking work
Taking with them the culture of a failed state with Salsa music.
The enemy of freedom forgot about nature and over
The desert sand flew stopped by a 12-metre fence, and it
Blew and blew and sand dunes grew and grew, buried the wall
Till it was forgotten, the Salsa music won.
Jericho's wall blew down too was rendered into a parable, yet idiots
And the fearful defend this continuing building of walls by
Those who have forgotten history
