(Not everything about Comm, some before and after), in another thread I wrote:A little paraphrase of Lamentations...Warsaw pact.He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.Yes, from 1945 to 198x we couldn't travel outside of boundaries of Socialist Lager.He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.1956, Your government did it.Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.The Russian bear...He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.Treaty of Trianon, if any of You know what was it.He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.We have became leftists against our wish...I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.It happened literally, in the 50's!He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.The price of gas is twice as in US, the average incoming is 1/8 - 1/10.We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.Orbán Viktor. Please google and You will see...Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.My face, for example...Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.http://kep.index.hu/1/0/259/2593/25931/2593114_8316da0c5735731f631af892485e1186_wm.jpgThe elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.
You know, the rabbits learn to sleep, while they are awaiting the shot, the cameleons learn to change their colour, the people learn to clap and hurrah.
In general, it was unbearable; most of us used to bear it...
If one of You interested in the topic, please ask something less general.
