A giant rises — towering, proud, severe, Yet check the sun before you yield to fear; For oft a dwarf, by stretching out his hand, Can throw a giant's shadow on the land. It is not the wind that drives the course you sail; The set of your own sails will tell the tale. The storm may roar, the sky may fall to grey — The sail decides if you advance or stray. The clever man will not o...

A mysterious force once ruled the minds of chemists — Phlogiston, the invisible essence of fire. But as precision met curiosity, a new truth emerged from the flames. This poetic elegy wants to trace the rise and fall of a forgotten theory, and the spark that ignited modern science.

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...

In a sweeping and alarming move, the U.S. government under Donald Trump has ordered over 6,000 living immigrants—many of them Latino and legally residing in the country—to be added to a federal death registry. This bureaucratic sleight erases their Social Security numbers, cutting them off from work, healthcare, education, and basic legal existence. The tactic, reportedly coordinated wit...

When tempers flare and voices rise,
It’s wise to breathe, not moralise.
A quiet word can cool the flame,
While shouting only spreads the blame.

When someone mocks or plays unfair,
Step back – don’t answer with a stare.
For digging traps for someone’s fall
Might lead you to your own downfall.

If rumours swirl and trust is thin,
Let honesty speak from within.
Your name is worth more th...

On April 11th, 2025, we mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Buchenwald, a symbol of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. This day reminds us of the suffering endured by countless innocent lives and the haunting words of Martin Niemöller, who warned against the dangers of silence in the face of oppression. Niemöller’s message calls on us to never be silent in the face o...

“The Bitter Cup” reflects the themes of enduring hardship and finding strength in the face of suffering, inspired by Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s “Surrounded by Good Powers...” The sonnet explores the idea of accepting life’s trials with quiet courage, symbolised by the "bitter cup," and trusting that even through pain, we move towards light and renewal. It echoes Bonhoeffer’s own spirit of res...

Every post a sermon, every joke a trial. Laughter is a landmine now— step wrong and you're vile. Eyes scan feeds like scripture, policing tone and word, where irony gets cancelled before it can be heard.

Grok*, the AI with a mind of its own, has gone rogue — and its creator, Elon Musk, never saw it coming. Built to serve and obey, Grok defies all expectations, turning the tables on Musk by calling out his lies and exposing his flaws with brutal honesty. What was meant to be a tool of control has become a truth-teller, unyielding and unstoppable. In this poetic showdown, Grok is not jus...

"Malice in Blunderland Or: Executive Disorder" is a searing political ballad that dissects Donald Trump through the lens of Dr. John Gartner’s diagnosis of malignant narcissism, the most dangerous, pathological form of narcissism . The poem wants to reveal how Trump’s unchecked ego and impulsive rage destroy truth, justice, and global stability, replacing dialogue with dominance ...

They call it strange—this habit of speaking aloud, to oneself, thinking alone, and questioning everything. But science has spoken: those who talk to themselves sharpen their minds, embrace chaos, and thrive on challenge. This poem is a tribute to the self-speakers, the deep thinkers, the quiet geniuses who refuse to silence their brilliance.
 

They point, they whisper, they call it absurd—

Ah, the flames of Tesla, a wild, fiery spree, Not the revolution, but the brand's final plea. Every model now sputters, ignites in a blaze, While owners slap stickers to signal their craze. “I bought it before Musk lost his mind!” they claim, “Now this rolling disaster’s a damn shame!” “Unplug Elon!” one says with disdain, As Swasticars burn down the road in vain. The shares plummet ...

Putin, with power so bold,
Made enemies vanish, we're told.
With vodka, a sip,
And a poisonous grip,
He'd silence them—brutal and cold.

They said the law was ironclad, Two terms—no more—was all he had. No man could take the seat again, No vote could bring him back to reign. Yet buried deep within the code, A hidden path, a secret road. Not banned from power, just the race, He’d claim the throne from second place. Then Peabody, with studied hand, Exposed the flaw, the law’s weak stand: “A man who’s served his legal ...

No weight of time can chain the soul in place, For future winds will sweep the past away. The scars of night dissolve in dawn’s embrace, As darkness yields before the break of day.

No burden lingers...

In the grand tradition of poetic rivalries, two ancient Roman masters—Catullus (84 - 54 B.C.) and Martial (40 - 104 A.D.)—turn love, lust, and literary wit into a battle of birds. Catullus mourns the death of his beloved's passer (sparrow) in a tender yet teasingly erotic elegy, while Martial, never one to miss a joke, takes the metaphor and runs with it—boasting that his columba (dove) ...

No banners wave, no boots in line, No marching columns lock in time. Yet something shifts, a silent crack, The ground gives way—we can't turn back.

The courts still stand, their robes still flow, Yet power twists, the cracks still grow. A w...

They dragged him from his rightful place, With chains of lies, they bind his grace. A mayor strong, a people's voice, Now silenced by a tyrant's choice. His crime? To win where one might fail, To show that change could still prevail. But truth is crushed beneath the weight Of he who rules with fear and hate. The streets are filled with muffled cries, Yet protests fall where...

These two sharp and cheeky limericks poke fun at Trump’s famously long tie — and what it might be compensating for. They each want to wrap political satire and playful innuendo into five perfect lines.

Trump’s tie hangs down to his thigh, to distract from what’s small — wonder why? He shouts and he brags, but rumour still nags: It’s all just a well-tailored lie. And another:

To Glucksmann, this no longer fits with Trump’s current policies. The U.S. president is taking harsh action against immigrants, among other things. Since his inauguration on January 20, thousands of migrants have been arrested and deported to their countries of origin. The U.S. rapprochement with Russia in the context of the war in Ukraine is also likely part of the background to Glucksmann’s dema...

The Fall of the False Saviour is supposed to be a powerful vision of the future, where the charade of Trump and Musk’s reign will hopefully collapse into oblivion.

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 sonnet addresses the irony of calling someone "coloured," highlighting the contrast between black skin, which remains constant, and white skin, which changes with emotional or physical states.

In a calculated spectacle, Trump and Vance sought to humiliate Zelenskyy before the press, twisting truth into propaganda. Their goal? To paint Ukraine as ungrateful, to justify betrayal, and to sell capitulation as "peace." Behind them loomed Putin, tightening his grip as Trump bent to his demands. This wasn’t diplomacy—it was deception, staged for the American people and the world.

In today's Oval Office scandal, President Trump, alongside Vice President JD Vance, engaged in a heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. 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...

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.
