CHILLI BRETZELS WITH BLUE CHEESE

asked myself the meaning of this:
CHILLI BRETZELS WITH BLUE CHEESE.
And thought it all had to do with life.
About how you live and what you do.
A symbol.
A lifestyle.

I decided to find out from others.
An explanation.
An understanding.

Bill Clinton & George Bush withheld any comment.
Although I wanted to hear
That this statement
Was a reflection of what happens
In the White House all the time.
Affairs, Lies, So-called Politics.
Spicy Stories, all covered up.
Until wars reveal
The real blue
Within the cheese.

Lady Diana sadly couldn’t respond.
She would have probably compared it
To the work of the Paparazzi.
Or the Lifestyle of the Royal Family.
Looks great from the outside.
But rotten on the inside.
Some smells are worse than others.

Good old Madiba smiled and said:
Well, my fellow comrade,
It’s just like our country.
Many colours, many opinions.
One big zesty chilli bretzel.
But in the end it all boils down to
Whether the leaders of this rainbow nation
Work together
In achieving a common taste.

I concluded that a life full of
CHILLI BRETZELS WITH BLUE CHEESE
Can be both piquant and aromatic.
However, the sensation this combination creates,
Depends solely on your tastebuds.
