I only liked him half
The one where he was not stuck
To his own old obsolete beliefs
His open-minded attitude
Could win him millions
But if we need to get to the bottom of it
The duality of his personality
Multilingual
It is not always advisable
For a nationalist, patriot
Seeing only their own country
Everywhere
From colleagues to managers
At work
There is no one else
More valued in their world
So soon I was done
Like half a lonely half a sad boat
In the middle of the river
Only picked up
When my targets also coincided
With his goals
When I didn’t have to translate
What’s the best
What is my usual
Dipping in the subject
Because his answer
Was always the same:
“My country is the best!”
Even a vacation abroad
Had to match the tips from
His female compatriots
As tour guides
So why did he dare to hassle me?
Trying to change
My habits, familiar basics
Becoming a cool customer
Although without strengthening
Vision of his world
