Even a big man needs a big brother to tell him how to handle.

It's good to have you five here.

The rich man stroked his fat belly with satisfaction. He'd just had an extensive dinner. It was a wonder the cook hadn't put him on a spit since his appearance had a lot in common with the pig he had just eaten. He burped contentedly and took some more sips of wine. The most important thing was yet to come.

Gentlemen, democracy is at stake. You of all know what I mean. This is about the discontent of the people. We must expand to accommodate everyone. The neighbours are inferior, let the export begin.

The man from the accounting office studied the graph. The income looked positive. The other four nodded in agreement. Lord Swine was right, happiness had to be forced just like trade. Turning off the tap, stopping the flow of goods.
Some dynamite and sword fights always had been good for fulfilling desires. There was no arguing about the usefulness of War and Peace
Everyone knew that peace was only incidental and temporary. A period of rest to then replenish the personal bank account.

Do we agree? Swine asked.

He intended to settle the matter as quickly as possible. His superiors from overseas had not only increased his belly, fortune and power but also his bank account. He grunted contentedly at the thought of the promised land.

Gross looked doubtful, the plan was grand, not impossible but inhumane. It was not difficult to predict the outcome. The client would play dumb at first, next the lifesaver while they were declared guilty. He saw dollar signs everywhere, even in the sun and moon.

I would...

Before he could finish his sentence he was shot. Motionless he laid on the ground.

After two weeks there was still no agreement and a decisive vote was missing.

I will present that donkey of a moneylender, he does not ask the how, what, why and for what, thought Swine. The dumb Gold-Ass had blinders on and was only fixated on creating more money.

The foursome sat reluctantly at the table.

You have been warned, said the mighty man.

He burped contentedly. With the knife to the throat, the world looked a lot brighter. Without batting an eyelid, he showed off his versatile arsenal to reinforce the decision. After all, a democratic move could only be won if everyone was convinced.

There is no majority, one ventured to say.

Before he could count till three his head was separated from his torso. One by one the heads rolled. Swine grunted. Men with brain weren't needed at positions like these.


Everyone agrees it's unanimous, said Swine when the man of honour in full regalia, - who had never seen a battlefield - decorated with laurel wreath and awards, marched into the room.

Gold-Ass, the donkey, uh I mean our financier is present, he whispered in man's ear. The code word is Bricklebrit!

He made the man drink a few extra glasses of wine to celebrate the happy occasion, the guy's downfall and the end of his agony. It was high time to make the final decision.

Everyone is in favour, so..., he gasped in the ear of the drunken commander who surrendered without a fight and signed the paper.

The meeting went smoothly and everyone voted in favour. On to a better future. Long live the people, the newspaper headlined.

It promised to be a profitable battle.


Note: Groß (German meaning big/huge) = *Grosz = Gross

Art review EN.jpg

Incluso un hombre grande necesita un hermano mayor que le diga cómo comportarse.

Es bueno tenerlos a ustedes cinco aquí.

El rico se acarició con satisfacción su gorda barriga. Acababa de tener una cena abundante. Era un milagro que el cocinero no lo hubiera puesto en un asador ya que su apariencia tenía mucho en común con la del cerdo que acababa de comerse. Eructó de satisfacción y tomó más sorbos de vino. Lo más importante aún estaba por llegar.

Señores, la democracia está en juego. Todos ustedes saben a qué me refiero. Se trata del descontento del pueblo. Debemos expandirnos para dar cabida a todos. Los vecinos son inferiores, que empiece la exportación.

El hombre de la oficina de contabilidad estudió el gráfico. Los ingresos parecían positivos. Los otros cuatro asintieron con la cabeza. Lord Swine tenía razón: la felicidad había que forzarla al igual que el comercio. Cerrar el grifo, detener el flujo de mercancías.
Algunas peleas con dinamita y espadas siempre habían sido buenas para cumplir deseos. No había discusión sobre la utilidad de Guerra y Paz.
Todo el mundo sabía que la paz era sólo incidental y temporal. Un periodo de descanso para luego reponer la cuenta bancaria personal.

¿Estamos de acuerdo? Preguntó cerdo.

Tenía la intención de resolver el asunto lo más rápido posible. Sus superiores extranjeros no sólo habían aumentado su barriga, su fortuna y su poder, sino también su cuenta bancaria. Gruñó de satisfacción al pensar en la tierra prometida.

Gross parecía dudar, el plan era grandioso, no imposible pero sí inhumano. No fue difícil predecir el resultado. El cliente se haría el tonto al principio, luego el salvavidas mientras eran declarados culpables. Vio signos de dólar por todas partes, incluso bajo el sol y la luna.

Me gustaría...

Antes de que pudiera terminar su frase le dispararon. Inmóvil se tumbó en el suelo.

Después de dos semanas todavía no había acuerdo y faltaba una votación decisiva.

Le presentaré a ese burro de prestamista, no pregunta cómo, qué, por qué y para qué, pensó Cerdo. El tonto Gold-Ass tenía anteojeras y solo estaba obsesionado con crear más dinero.

Los cuatro se sentaron a la mesa de mala gana.

Estás advertido, dijo el valiente.

Eructó satisfecho. Con el cuchillo en la garganta, el mundo parecía mucho más brillante. Sin pestañear, hizo gala de su polivalente arsenal para reforzar la decisión. Después de todo, sólo se podría lograr un movimiento democrático si todos estaban convencidos.

No hay mayoría, se atrevió a decir.

Antes de que pudiera contar hasta tres, su cabeza se separó del torso. Una a una, las cabezas rodaron. Cerdo gruñó. No se necesitaban hombres con cerebro en puestos como estos.


Todos están de acuerdo en que es unánime, dijo Swine cuando el hombre de honor con todas sus insignias, que nunca había visto un campo de batalla, decorado con una corona de laurel y premios, entró en la sala.

Asno de Oro, el burro, eh, quiero decir, nuestro financiero está presente, le susurró al oído al hombre. ¡La palabra clave es Bricklebrit!

Hizo que el hombre bebiera unas copas extra de vino para celebrar la feliz ocasión, la caída del chico y el fin de su agonía. Ya era hora de tomar la decisión final.

Todos están a favor, entonces..., jadeó en el oído del comandante borracho que se rindió sin luchar y firmó el papel.

La reunión transcurrió sin problemas y todos votaron a favor. Hacia un futuro mejor. Viva el pueblo, tituló el diario.

Prometía ser una batalla rentable.

Satire yang menarik terkait demokrasi kalau dalam bahasa gaul di Indonesia biasa disebut "DemoCrazy"

Di mana-mana sama saja dan sudah sejak berabad-abad. Bahasa gaul yang hebat! "DemoCrazy" memang benar adanya!

Vay vaya… es increíble cómo podemos contextualizar situaciones políticas con tan solo una imagen eso es un talento que no todos tienen y también es un talento la interpretación.

Si la pintura se basa en determinadas expresiones, el simbolismo es el camino a utilizar -también un método seguro-, todo lo que el observador tiene que hacer es observar para averiguarlo.
Gracias por su amable comentario.

El vino fluye, las decisiones empeoran: ¡así es cómo un vaso de más puede cambiar la historia!

Siempre es bello leerte.🌻

Not only one glass of wine can..the wrong word, spoiled food, forgetting to greet, and and and...

🍀❤️

Government sitting with their big belly planning how to cause an issue that will affect the citizens, then create a budget to settle nothing but their saggy pockets. They all think the same and act same too, we call them zombie united

A great description make a freewrite poem out of it! 🤣
