The Olympic Games in Rio
Hundred of native BR families lived in this favela,
forcibly evicted in favour of accommodation for the few
marvelling briefly at athletic prowess at the Games.

I sell collectibles and art online and often find the things I've found have hilarious and at times, dark stories to tell. It's thrilling for me to be creatively random, so always expect the unexpected in the things I share with you.

There is a huge gap
between what is
And what should not be
It has taken life to a whole new
Definition
Which has us wondering why
Unfortunately the answer
Lies where the hand meets
The pocket and someone
Always getting something
That the rest don’t have
Life is very strange
And we are left
With this mystery
That is the untold
Secret of life

Yes, as Cornelis says, two worlds – one pandering to money, national pride and short term newsworthiness and given every importance – and the other based on poor, powerless, local people and given no thought whatsoever. I am not in any case a fan of televised sport, but I do wonder if countries such as Brazil, with their vast disparities between the haves and have nots, should host these international media spectacles; maybe they belong – if they belong anywhere at all – more in the wealthier world.

Yes, I wonder too, I have rather lost interest in all sports, everything is heavily weighted on the money side and therefore folk will do anything …doping…to get the required result. Sad state of affairs.
