SECONDRATE POET ATTACKED BY ELEPHANT.

Going home from a bar in Kholat, Thailand, the night of june 11th, secondrate poet Morten Alsinger was attacked and literaly run over by fierce 1200 pound elephant. Once on the street he just made a narrow and lucky escape by pulling himself halfway under a parked SUV, and only suffered minor injories and bruces to his legs and back.

Being the class-consious comerade he is, he do not blame the elephant fot the attack as much as he blames the system.
Elephants are becoming a bigger and bigger problem in thai cities. Their traditonal workplaces in agriculture, foresty and construction has vanished at the hands of globalisation, and more and more elephants are lost, with their owners, in the cities, living of various circus tracks and tourism. To keep the animals working long hourss, it has become more and more seen that the animals are kept on amphetamines to up the revenues and hold the expenses down. Everybody knows that junkies dont eat much.
So when the police asked me, what I wanted to happen to the guy and his elephant I could only answer:
"Find the elephant a zoo, and give the guy a decent job".
That, they couldnt provide.

Though I am hurting, the system hurts more.
