betrayal (Remove filter)
Kryvyi Rih
Civilians lie, annoyingly dead,
Innocent prey of the enemy’s sport,
While wannabe gods in Washington cry:
‘You losers! We told you. It's all your fault.’

The Four New MUSKateers
This sonnet critiques the dangerous alliance between powerful tech moguls and a corrupt political figure, symbolised by the "four musketeers" who bow to Trump’s person, influence and might.
