~
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
