Eighty Springs Since Buchenwald
Eighty years ago, Buchenwald concentration camp was liberated, revealing the horrific suffering endured by thousands of victims. Under brutal Nazi rule, countless lives were lost to violence, starvation, and forced labor. The liberation marked both an end to this chapter of terror and a solemn reminder of the depths of human cruelty.
Eighty springs have bloomed and gone, Since gates wer...Monday 14th April 2025 7:19 am
SAOIRSE DON PHALAISTIN
Saoirse don Phalaistín!
Justice must win!
Freedom for Palestine!
Their freedom’s thine,
Their freedom’s mine.

Golden Frame
do you see your reflection in a golden frame
untouched by the rust of the storm you created?
can you see it gathering dust as you avoid blame?
too scared to get your fingers dirty, you let your outline fade
unknown where the background ends and humanity enters
i can no longer recognize your face and its features
am i squinting hard enough for you?
do i need a microscope to not...

Born of Rot: 14 June 1946
14 June 1946 — the day malice was given human form again. It reflects on the vile nature of that birth and demands that this parasite be torn from the earth before more harm is done.

The Wrecking Ball of Democracy Incarnate
A chilling warning about the state of American democracy, as power consolidates under the hands of a few. With Trump and Musk at the helm, the nation’s soul is being dismantled, and the world trembles at the impending rise of a new dictatorship. This poem tries to capture the essence of a regime fuelled by greed, secrecy, and the crushing of basic freedoms, marking a dark chapter in history.

Eternally Alone
It doesn’t matter how the sun sets,
nor how the clear streams flow.
There is no joy in waves of grain
or brilliant fields of snow.
This world in all its glory
spins round eternally,
but glory melts to sand and grey
because there’s only me.
I once lived life upon a world
with billions by my side,
where I spent my time wishing
I could run away and hide.

The Weight of Indifference
Inspired by Gerta Spieß’s haunting lines, “There’s nothing to be done,” this poem, The Weight of Indifference, examines the moral cost of inaction. It reveals how silence and apathy chain the oppressed and stain the conscience of the innocent. A call to confront the guilt born of indifference, it urges us to speak and act, even when trembling, for silence is the crime of care.
What marks the gu...

Haiku for 2025 [No. 4. True Peace or Pieces?]
Seek truth and justice.
Absence of war’s mere pretence!
True peace, not pieces.

Puppets of Greed
This poem critiques a presidency shaped by selfishness, revenge, and the influence of tech billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos et al. Rather than adhering to constitutional values, Trump’s cabinet is filled not only with power-hungry opportunists and morons seeking their own gain, but also with those who are completely devoted to him—almost god-like in their loyalty. These ind...
