Great Danes
Comments (14) Danish friends of a friend were recently in town.
They decided to go on a bus trip.
Just before boarding their bus, in Connought Place, they had their first encounter with poverty
poverty, of the killing kind
the one that kills you, and kills your dignity.
They were shocked, and moved to comment:
In denmark, we don’t have such things
In our country, we tax the rich
and give to the poor, and
thus nobody is really poor.
we have free education, world class hospitals
and no crime, grime and grimness.
my friend, listened, with envy
and also rattled, by jaw dropping naivete
small problem, he said,
really minor, indeed
the only thing is: you were never, in fact, a colony.
