Déjà Vu : Déjà être : Déjà ecouté... "Sharon's Passion"
so seen, and been and heard before"
It would seem the great unseen powers so often ascribed the responsiblity for planning the co-incidences so many see politics and culture of local and global nature, can not find a suitable day to finally lay to rest Ariel Sharon. Unsurprisingly therefore it is reported this evening that he has opened his eyes though still in coma as a response to an audio tape of his grandson's voice.
For this to be a truly scientific proof of either Sharon being alive or more accurately still not undead we would have had to learn that more audio tapes were played.
I presume that no doctor in Israel will risk their future reputation and perhaps careers by suggesting at this stage a compare & contrast experiment with differing stimuli.
Ah! You see? play him the best of Yasser Arafat's speeches on mp3 and he blinks.
Whereas you play him Nassar pre-yom Kippur war on reel to reel, he doesn't blink, but we do sense extra electrical activity in the Broka's cortex.
Sharon is not dead, nor is he living.
Sharon is now "Undead".
And we witness the sad befuddlement of European commentators and newspapers types as they write the obituary without the death. Some moments before Yassar Arafat died in Percy Hospital on the 11th day of the 11th month (Armistice day to mark the end of that great war which never ended) he too opened his eyes. But the stimuli as reported to us, the "onlookers and spectators" were different.
Yassar the warrior who spoke that funny Egyptian arabic which might so tickle Sharon's Broca's cortex, was the single bank account holder of the entire Palestinian Authority's budget. You'd wake a man up from slow hell for that.
¿wouldn't you?
But at least he died on a resonant day. & I ruefully admit afforded me a chance to be decent and say "rest in peace".
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=67424 Thats the thing with warriors, they find "REST" and the peace so many others hope follows, so terribly difficult.
Perhaps the unseen and so rumoured omnitpotentates of newsworthy conicidence might help him "forward" to that final flag draped moment, just before the March 28th elections. And one presumes that Sharon did not ask to be buried in Jerusalem. One of the most interesting rights to yet be articulated by any legislature which I noted in the last year, was article 19 of the proposed Catalan "estatut" : "to die with dignity". I hope whomever is elected to lead the Palestinian and Israeli peoples in whichever "state" they are found, will consider the deep meaning of that right. Because after a long "think" and "reflection" of this "Levant Death Event" which is lets be honest "so seen, and been and heard before" I reckon neither Palestinian or Israeli are going to get warrior leaders again. There were precious few deaths with dignity, and precious few lives worth the ethnic / religious / political passion.
Gaza will need this year as much water as last. So that it may grow crops and good things to eat. & that water might only come from Israel.
40% of Israel's children are arabs and that percentage will not decrease and they are as entitled to something good to eat as any other child of the "problem state".
& some day behind that wall or in front of it, they will all realise that "simple binding truth".
So at end of this ruminating opinion rather than analysis, I wonder publically are there after all more people alive in this great blue world, who don't want to see Ariel Sharon die after all. Who would now cheat the warrior of the diginified end. Who now are the great unseen powers keeping him
{" undead "}
