The EU's Two Main Parasites
Beneath the banner of a fractured pact,
Two nations stray, their selfish aims intact.
Hungary, led by Orbán’s brazen creed,
And Fico's Slovakia, both sow the seed
Of discord, national pride their sole refrain,
Ignoring Europe’s unity, disdain.
While others strive for common peace to last,
These leaders clutch at Putin’s moldy mast.
Slovakia threatens to cut off the power,

A Nation's Fall - The World On The Brink
America’s dream died today, in shame,
A tyrant’s pride ignites this fateful flame.
By numbers marked, and fools enthralled by might,
A nation blinds itself to the loss of light.
Women, gripped by fear, forsake their claim,
Bowing to their husbands’ will more than their shame.
The unborn’s cry, once called a holy fight,
Falls mute beneath this gilded thief's delight.

The "Corona" Special
So we all know this is bullshit, this thing called Corona Virus,
My friends and I don't wear masks and now people won't stand beside us,
Damn it's crazy that people still watch the news,
All they do is lie and it's owned by the Jews,
That doesn't make me a racist so please just relax,
Just look up the definitions and make sure you know your facts,
Can't you see this virus is one ...

Tyranny digs its own grave
I met a tyrant going to the fair
I enquired may I taste your ware?
The answer I received took me little by surprise:
“You wear my colours, but cannot hide
your true hues that you keep inside
so I will throw you in jail
and lose the key.
While you scream and wail
my laughter will be heard
around the land
while you rot in this hell
for ignoring my command.”

You have to pay for a deaf ear
Angry a man began to beat his dog
"Conniving with a thief is wrong!"
Answered the dog
"What more do you
Want me to do dear
After to my non-stop bark last night
You turned a deaf ear!
When told to mend its way
Adamant, the incumbent
Went astray.
After it is to late
It makes a dabble
To hold citizens to
The chaos accountable!

I seek
After hearing the voice of despotism,
the cries of the hungry looking in the trash for bread,
the bitter language of solitude,
I look in the blue sky for serenity;
I create a landscape and try to dream
I seek peace among the white fingers of the aurora
After not finding the line of understanding,
the root of the soul,
the wind of justice,
the submerged freedom,

Hydra
Poison vapours
etched in gloom.
Ghastly, void,
vacant, the guardian of
a chained black gate.
Never sleeping;
eyes, as heads,
unnumbered;
waiting for heroes
to seal their fate.
In legends torn
from clay cast bright
we may witness
fire and blades and bows;
such blood-fuelled spite.
Now all too real;
slowly shed,
the skin of time;

The Hangman of Prague
In the days of war and Nazi conquest
Deep in the heart of the Third Reich
Was a man so cold and ruthless
That the fuhrer proclaimed had a heart of Iron
Hangman Heydrich ruled a nation
Of several million innocent Czechs
Controlling them with an Iron grip
Signs of resistance spelled their death
Himmlers deputy performed with efficiency
The darker pa...
