"We have got some very big problems confronting us and let us not make any mistake about it, human history in the future is fraught with tragedy.

Az oroszlánoknak etetve - M.N. Hopkins Verse
*Az oroszlánoknak etetve * *Nem félünk tőled* *Mi vagyunk az oroszlánok* *©** 2021 M.N. Hopkins* *Megjegyzés: Ezt a verset néhány napja írtam, azon gondolkodva, hogy milyen könnyű volt a világ lakosságát arra csábítani, hogy feladja szuverenitását és azt a kevés jogát, ami még megmaradt. Az egész egy nagy pszichológiai művelet az emberek becsalogatására. Azon a napon, amikor sokan közülünk felismerik ezt, lehull a függöny, ami eltereli a figyelmünket a valóságról, hogy néhány kis gyenge, pszihotikus férfi és nő játssza az ördög ügyvédjét és csábít minket, hogy behódoljunk eze... read more

*Vkrmljen za leve * *Ne bojimo se vas* *Mi smo levi* *© **2021 M.N. Hopkins* *Opomba: To pesem sem napisal pred nekaj dnevi, ko sem razmišljal o tem, kako enostavno je bilo svetovno prebivalstvo zvabiti, da se je odpovedalo svoji suverenosti in še tistim nekaj pravicam, ki so jim ostale. Vse to je velika psihološka operacija, ki privablja ljudi. Na dan, ko se bodo mnogi od nas tega zavedli, bodo padle zavese, ki nas odvračajo od resničnosti nekaj majhnih šibkih, psihotičnih moških in žensk, ki igrajo hudičeve advokate in nas zvabijo v podreditev tem zlobnim načrtom.

"How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that needs our help.
