Monocracy In A Demonic Dystopia

Look at him
Obsessed with himself
Never wrong
And if he is punished for misdeeds
He declares an injustice
Blaming corruption as the cause of his inequity
Ah me!
Note how this narcissistic autocrat seeks power
Fosters fallacies
To make himself a hero
In the fairy tales he feverishly invents
He’s a master of lies
Cunningly focused to win popular support
A poseur par excellence
Seeking monocracy in a demonic dystopia
Ruled over by himself
He is effective too
This bland deceiver
Who courts followers with word and gesture
He claps himself and punches the air
Amidst a convenient declamatory crowd
Who wield ornate, florid, dramatic posters of hate
In harmony with the self-seeking disputes he creates
So successful is this beast who beguiles
That news bulletins tell his story constantly
Riotous screenshots of him stirring the doting mob
Endlessly fill the airwaves
Do you know this demon?
His name is so widely known
To all mortals save corpses in morgues
So you will not find that name here

Election

See how that despot cajoles the voters
In many cunning ways
Spreading his lies with unwavering flair
Posing as a victim of dreamed up villainy
Portraying the worthy as agents of evil
Deploring true justice as outrageous infamy
Threatening those who dare to find fault with him
Promising to pardon his criminal disciples
Bending many rules with fraudulent deception
Stealing the property of government authority
And displaying support for deadly rebellion
These wrongs he uses to serve his own ends
As the straight and narrow he cunningly bends
Watch him now carefully
Note well his words
As he gathers support
To set free jailbirds
So act his way then and cast your vote
Follow his lead
And wear his baleful many coloured coat*
Come along then in the hear and now
You captivated pawns
And take an obsequious bow
Let a dictator rule and control the world
Observe his cunning as he gets attention
By hugging that flag unfurled
Elect him now to end justice and democracy
Cultivate disaster and strife
In the form of this drone’s vile autocracy

*This is a biblical allusion. Joseph’s many coloured coat is a symbol of a number of things. One is that it is a sign of approval.

Racist Rogue

Look at you
Your words are fascistic
Your statements are nothing but xenophobic venom
Your turn of phrase breeds hate
Your vision is distorted by your political game-plan
Immigrants will poison our blood you say
O arrant fool!
Their face, their eyes, their skin may be different
But their blood is red, exactly like yours and mine
So I see through you now
You seek to profit by tapping into evil mores
You seek to exploit existing race-related repartee
You seek to ride the waves of prejudice
Thus you need to be exposed
What a tragic spectre you are
With your harnessed counterfeit fame
With what you say so unrelated to truth and justice
It’s unhindered power you seek
Unrestrained autonomy
Bestowed upon you
By the seduced followers who support you
To make you an approved oppressor
With the absolute power only a fascist can know
But heed this you vile would be oppressor
You darling of doom
You agent of anguish
You devil of deception
You torment of tragic woe
There is a voice abroad in the wind
It is only faint just now
But it comes from the children of reason
And will grow soon into a tempest of canonised truth

Cause And Effect

So
Those two university students
Have been expelled for publicly supporting Hamas**
In this our land
Where democracy and fair play are said to rule
That latest authoritarian deed
Bids farewell to freedom of speech
Of course
Terrorists must not be supported
But the solution to the problem
Lies clearly beyond mere condemnation of evil
Far more important
Is to cancel the effect by removing the cause
Why then
Do Islamist people rebel in Gaza?
The reason is a human tragedy that exists
An anguish
That would hold sway in any court of justice
So something has to be done
Palestinians are cursed in Gaza
Injustice brings death to a vast array of innocents
Heed me then you lords of academe
Work to end this deadly cause and notice the effect
Bring fair play to the ill-fated land in question
Let the innocents live
Strive to make human rights replace the tyranny
Then Hamas misdeeds
Will have no support from idealistic students

**Hamas, an acronym of its official name, Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya, is a Palestinian Sunni Islamist political and military movement governing the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip since 2007. Source Wikipedia.

A Surprise

Rohan was a good character and pious
That’s what his name suggests in Persian
He was a very kind person
Ready with a helping hand if he saw the need
And church was his domain most Sundays
He loved walking, especially in the very fresh air
Of the tourist haunt Katoomba where he lived
So it was not surprising
When he stumbled across a solitary dog
Whimpering on an isolated pathway
In those Blue Mountains
He decided to lend a helping hand
“Here boy,” he said “what’s the matter?”
The dog continued whining and groaning softly
Hung his head
And looked sadly up at the mentor
Who reached out with a gentle hand to pat him
“Now then,” he said “life can’t be that bad
“Come on now, up you get”
Sadly the kindness had little effect
The troubled creature remained distressed
Indeed
Began to cry out with a powerful howl
Followed by what can only be described as a wail
Much to the distress of his would be friend
So Rohan picked him up and held him to his breast
That was when it happened…
You see this dog belonged to old Charlie
Who was suddenly noticed
Lying unconscious on a ledge below the pathway
And soon to be rescued by Emergency Services
