The latest news
from the family-run,
once independent island,
is the appointment
of a presidential committee
to decide upon which
recommendations to adopt
regarding the erstwhile
ethnic question, which
has been subsumed
into the unitary enterprise
of the war-fighting, now
North and East-occupying,
government dedicated
to paying appropriate attention
to the international human
rights lobby and European
and American states.
Nothing like a committee
to push the football away,
like the many formed
and dissolved
in the past without
achieving laws,
but which gained time
for the family
to work and play.
