Time

Time is running out, Paradox is ageing

Hugo Chavez pointed out that we should only sleep four hours a day because there is so much to do. For him the Bolivarian Revolution is continuing the work of Jesus.

Viva America Latina. Like the feet of a salsa dancer it's all swirling around in his head, in hurry: Nationalism, socialism, christianity, helping the weak against the powerful, saving the human race against the rapacious demands of capitalism, stopping the US using the atomic bomb against Iran. Viva America Latina, Viva!

He is a man on the move, possessed with urgency, his body boils with fervour.

Yet, poetic. You cannot be a socialist if you cannot love... was one of his phrases.

Friend of Castro and the Pope, this eclectic guy is not easily boxed. Don't be dogmatic was his mantra. Don't have a motto; thats my motto.

The man was a performer, an artist, eyes twinkling he wowed his crowd. Chavez is a popular populist with a heart. He is personally offended by poverty. Government by moral imperative.

The devil is in the detail. How does this work on the ground?... I don't know and I need to find out. But the discourse is so different from that other oil rich nation, Angola.

There, dry eyed dinosours talk of development throught technology. Poverty is a technical issue not a moral one. Soaked in oil they cling to power, caressing and possessing it like a jealous lover. 30 years of combat has crusted their spirit and this rigid shell dulls the heart within.

Outside, the teeming Luanda masses audibly grumble. Literate and alive, they swing to the semba whilst picking their way through the sewage.

Luxurious ladies glide across Luanda in their Lexi. Perfumed down to the pubes and cocooned in air conditioning they prepare ...

... for what? Time is running out...


Luanda, the perfumed upon the pungent

great!
maybe the best way to know a leader better is to lisetn to people and their concerns/stories... and put all of them together and know at least a little about the contemporary historical/political/social events of the country in question.
so, he is a friend of Pope and also Castro! i also know he backed iran up with their nuclear programs...
I am wondering what his take is on Isreal/palestine, on iraq and Bin-laden and terrorism in general and North Korea and Libia?
