**************************************
DESTINY
***********************
Who is in charge of our destiny?
Surely not the regime in Yerevan
which is a puppet of the Kremlin;
and surely not our political parties in the Diaspora
that (in the words of a friend)
cannot even lead a dog to the nearest hydrant
or catch a cold in a flu epidemic.
Perhaps the right question in this context is not
who is in charge of our destiny
but do we have one?
*
We are taught to brag about our genius for survival.
What we are not told is that
the greatest challenge isn't surviving our enemies
but our own leadership.
*
I quoted a friend above.
I should have said a former friend.
My former friends outnumber my present friends
a hundred to one.
*
Last week I made a new friend.
This week he made it abundantly clear that
I will make him very happy
on the day I drop dead.
Easy come, easy go.
