Rebel Messiahs

~

it’s usually a man, 

who’s hails from 

God knows where,

there have been a few

Vlad Adolf Saddam 

Kim Joe Pol and more,

on a low light, 

insidiously simmering

before violence, guile, 

repression or just 

right place right time,

they bubble over to form

a toxic slime-scum

a gaseous livid stench

to blight the lives

of myriad lemming souls

who choke beneath a 

deadly nauseous filthy film

thus, fed on shite 

they mouth-to-mouth kiss

their pariah messiah

as we shake heads and 

squint between our fingers

at such a sinful shame

this evolution of evil

the tombola of tyranny

spreads across the land

deja-vu we whisper,

deja-vu
