"Het is niet omdat de puberteit betoogt, dat de politieke antwoorden puberaal moeten zijn. " (Bart De Wever - D.S. 27 feb 2019)Hoffelijkheid laat staan elementaire beleefdheid zijn nooit Bart De Wevers' sterkste kanten geweest. Pedagogisch inzicht dus ook niet.
Op de vraag waarom ik thuis bijna nooit mijn mond opendeed antwoordde ik ooit dat het niet veel zin had. Telkens ik iets zei werd er toch niet geluisterd of erger, afgeblokt.
Lap. In het bijzijn van anderen.
Het is nooit meer goed gekomen tussen mijn vader en mij.
Ik denk ook niet dat het ooit nog goedkomt tussen BDW en de huidige pubers en toekomstige kiezers.
En ook niet met veel van de huidige kiezers tenzij die ook vinden dat achttienjarigen niets te vertellen hebben.
In 1970 schreef de toengenaamde Cat Stevens en de nu genaamde Yusuf Islam de conversatie tussen een vader en een zoon neer in de song Father and Son.
Father:
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
Son:
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
Father:
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
Son:
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
