(Not everything about Comm, some before and after), in another thread I wrote:A little paraphrase of Lamentations...

He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
Warsaw pact.

He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
Yes, from 1945 to 198x we couldn't travel outside of boundaries of Socialist Lager.

Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
1956, Your government did it.

He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
The Russian bear...

He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
Treaty of Trianon, if any of You know what was it.

I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
We have became leftists against our wish...

He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
It happened literally, in the 50's!

We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
The price of gas is twice as in US, the average incoming is 1/8 - 1/10.

Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
Orbán Viktor. Please google and You will see...

Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
My face, for example...

The 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.
- Whenever a poet or preacher, chief or wizard spouts gibberish, the human race spends centuries deciphering the message. - Umberto Eco
- To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei

Wow, thank you for your response.

So, I suppose everyone in Hungary likes things better now. . . right?
