Trump accused Zelenskyy of risking "World War Three" and suggested that Ukraine had "no good cards" in negotiations. This confrontation led to the abrupt cancellation of a significant minerals deal between the U...

If I were God, no tyrant’s fist Would strike the world and call it law. No throne would stand on broken backs, No crown be forged from cries of pain. The fattened few who drink from veins Of those who toil, who starve, who break, Would wake to find their golden feasts Had turned to dust upon their tongues. No child would fade to hollow bone, No mother beg for crusts of bread, No fa...

We carry wounds which no one sees, Stripped bare by the world's quiet indifference. A life lost, forgotten by time's cruel hands, Moments of sorrow fade beneath others' noise. A bomb bursts, its weight unseen, And the rubble settles—no one comes to mourn. We sit with our aching bodies, Alone in a world that turns its back. A sickness takes root, And the world moves on—too busy, too ...

Lost among the nameless crowd, A quiet ghost, no cries allowed. Drifting shadows, passing by, No hello, no wondering why. A life unbound, yet bound so tight, A flickering flame in endless night. The world it speaks, but not to me, A dialect I’ll never see. I tried to stand where others meet, But tripped upon my own two feet. Their laughter rang, a foreign sound, A melody I’ve neve...

This sonnet wants to capture the chaotic and relentless force of Trump’s ambitions—an unstoppable train of greed, power, and imperialism, barreling through the world, leaving disruption and destruction in its wake.
 

The world is battered, torn beneath his wheels,
A runaway of greed and steel and spite.
A thousand schemes, each twisting as it steals,
Devour the day and drown the dead of nig...

In another recent display of self-aggrandizement, Donald Trump proclaimed himself "king" after his administration intervened to halt New York City's congestion pricing plan—a measure designed to fund the city's aging transit system. Following this action, Trump took to social media, posting "CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD" and declaring "LONG LIVE THE KING," accompanied by an AI-generated image o...

As the Trump-Musk regime steers the U.S. into the arms of dictators, Europe stands at a crossroads. This poem is an outcry against betrayal, against backroom deals that sell out Ukraine, against the glee of China as it eyes Taiwan, and against the creeping infection of authoritarianism within Europe's own borders. Curtis Yarvin’s sick vision—a world where democracy is crushed under the boo...

A dark reckoning with modern tyranny—this poem wants to expose two men who poison the world with greed and destruction.

A haunting reflection on complicity and silence, Silent Witness tries to capture the slow erosion of solidarity in the face of oppression. With each passing stanza, the weight of inaction grows heavier—until it is too late.

They came in the night, but I turned away,
Not my fight, not my place to say.

One by one, they vanished unseen,
Yet I stood still, my hands kept clean.

The limerick recounts Elon Musk’s modified Nazi salute during Donald Trump’s inauguration celebration at the Capital One Arena, drawing attention to the unsettling revival of fascist gestures in a modern political context.

There once was a mogul named Musk, Whose fame turned increasingly brusque. At an oath-taking spree, He gestured with glee, A shadow from history’s dusk.

Tomorrow at noon, Washington braces not just for subzero temperatures but for the farcical swearing-in of a convicted criminal: Donny Disaster T-Rump. Rather than face the elements like his predecessors Reagan, Obama and JFK, T-Rump has shifted the ceremony indoors to the Rotunda, citing weather concerns—a thin excuse to mask fears of a sparse crowd. This same man, who once doctored images to infl...

This poem tries to capture the stark contrast between Trump’s upcoming inauguration and the hope-filled moments of previous administrations.

This poem critiques a presidency shaped by selfishness, revenge, and the influence of tech billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos et al.

"The Fact-Check Paradox" explores the contradiction at the heart of modern fact-checking: while meant to clarify truth, fact-checkers often impose their own interpretations, leaving people uncertain about what’s verified and what isn’t.

Oh, fortune's wheel that spins both high and low,

Thy hand seems fickle, yet thou canst be tamed.

Not through mere chance doth serendipity grow,

But by the deeds where effort is proclaimed.

 

The lucky soul looks not for fate’s decree,
But steps with courage where the path’s unclear.
They plant the seeds of opportunity,
And tend them well with hope and steady cheer.

Five winters passed since Britain’s leap,
From Union’s ties to waters deep.
No customs bonds, no common chains,
Yet, what’s been lost and what remains?

Of borders closed, of futures bright.
Trade unbound, and rules our own,
A dream proclaimed from Churchill’s throne.

 

But ports grew still, and shelves turned bare,
The fishing fleets met n...

The year begins, a path unknown,
With murmurs faint of seeds once sown.
What trials wait in weeks ahead,
What fears will rise, what hopes be fed?

 

Shall plans dissolve, as oft before,
Left wrecked upon misfortune's shore?
Or will they bloom, with steadfast will,
Though patience falters, dreams stand still?

 

Resolutions, bold and keen,
Stand fragile 'gainst the unforeseen.
