The Pope is in
the Central African Republic
as part of a six-day
tour of Africa
praising “the wisdom found
in poor neighborhoods”
condemning
lack of clean water
in a slum
and calling for peace
after having been to Kenya
on Thanksgiving
to warn of the catastrophe
bore largely by the poor
in Africa and beyond
that will result
if special interests
choose to hijack the climate change
summit in Paris
where President Obama
will negotiate with more than 120 world leaders
to create an historic agreement
on limiting
greenhouse gas pollution.
Meanwhile Donald Trump
now owns the rights
to Twisted Sister's
“We’re Not Gonna Take It”.
