Moments of Anger

Beyond Reason

Interest flows in the hoodwink season
In the methods used to deceive beyond reason
Denialism that ignores human rights
Is a reason the firestorm of anger ignites
So gather round all you seekers of veracity
And give this poor world a change capacity
If people are dying with no moral cause
The finger of blame points to anger not applause
If houses, hospitals, schools are now rubble
The givers of reasons are in serious trouble
A worthy cause is the claim
But the killing is just the same
Revenge, revenge, revenge
It’s for justice that you avenge
Yea, O yea, O yea
It’s all you can manage to say
There you have it, your vindication
The frail defence of your guiltless nation
You didn’t start the war
So that’s what your killing is for
But heed this now
It’s a crime I vow
It is hard to find a misdeed more evil
If you search the records from time primeval
Pain and suffering is your legerdemain
You drop on the innocent like falling rain
But now beware a punishment is rising
To put an end to your eulogising
Your criminal deeds are now so well known
You will face a future cataclysm on your own

Betrayal

So, you are to change your allegiance
Switch political parties to be precise
Elected in one, you cross over
To a bigger party currently with more power
Shame on you; this is a betrayal
Disloyalty to the citizens
Who voted for you in the other category
You are a Judas in modern garb
Stella Kubler* on steroids
Your new found strength is a sham
A pretence, a feint, a fiction, an act put on
The votes you get henceforth
Will be pieces of silver
Rage on, then, usurper to counterfeit glory
Spread mendacity in your name
Build a reputation on tremulous ground
Dream on of ill gotten supremacy
Watch without pity your former allies
Crumble in dismay in the civic arena
That hostile place
Where survival is linked to duplicity
And triumph so often flows from mendacity
So now your name is written on the wall
For all to see in the drama’s curtain call
You bow and acknowledge the applause
As the lion of approval loudly roars
Sheer dominance seems yours in this ovation
But alas only halfwits show such elation
On with it then. and change the government rules
To bring false joy in a parliament of fools

Childhood Shame

See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 18:10).
Villains!
Murderers!
Vicious malefactors!
Eternal opprobrium on you
There is no panacea for your villainy
The children of Gaza suffer in ways that send you to Hell
Killed or maimed by you
As an outcome of your deliberate intent
So Shame! Shame! Shame!
Look at your victims
So innocent
So naive
So sorrowful
So vulnerable
You the warmonger now
The deliberate militarist
The coldblooded sabre-rattler
Are guilty of a crime fit for eternal damnation
You trespass into a world of love sans guilt
Sans compassion
Sans regret
As the angels rattle on your window
E’re they die amidst your evil mastery

Defiance Of International Law

On the forcible interception of the Madleen, an activist vessel bearing life-saving cargo—including baby formula, food and medical supplies for Gaza.

How dare you
Arrest in international waters
A peaceful vessel bearing aid to victims
Of a wicked and demonic war
You are pirates who rule the seas again
Lawless, conniving persecutors
Who take the law into their own sullied hands
To promote their own destiny: unseemly power
Look around you at the shame they sought to rectify
These brave, humble, caring souls
Who ran the gamut of your anger
The endless conflict you have created
The cataclysm designed to give you victory over truth
Their courage is a light that shines upon them
Their concern for your victims
Is a warning bell that rings around heaven
But heed this now
This deed of yours is exposed
The beacon of veracity radiates around you
Reveals exactly what you are
An abetter of fabrication and callous chaos
A cruel and ruthless inflicter of human suffering
So set them free
Liberate them to carry out their plans
To be the epitome of justice
A voice of kindness amidst cruel deeds
A last flower in a garden of destruction
An inducement to end a brutal and savage conflict

The Sovereign Of A Tortured Kingdom

Look at you
The Monarch of Infamy
Lording over the land like a Julius Caesar
Or more accurately, an Adolf Hitler
There you rule
With your epitome of brain-dead disciples
Lackeys allied to you for their own advantage
Obsequious, undaunted by their own vices
Loyal to you regardless of your violations
O My! How clever you are!
Cunning is a better word
A less periphrastic way of putting it
No, even that is not precise
Self-seeking
Self-serving
Self-obsession
Or egomania
There, that’s closer to the truth
Not complete though, for you are a certified criminal
So rule on vile culprit
Give your empire its manifest destiny
Make imperialism your moving frontier
Shake your fist at friends to foster your own industries
Punish lawyers who find you guilty
Sack officials who are not obedient and loyal
Invent invasions so you can defile immigrants
Tell lies with the aplomb of a triumphant padrone
Promise mastery that never ensues
And all will be fine in your world
Until all your wicked, evil, sinful drones
In the end share in your inescapable demise
