A Shitstorm

A Shitstorm

There’s a shitstorm on the streets

                The poets are all asleep

The world run by a clown

                Keeping their heads down.

The red caps came for Jeff

                But the singers are all deaf

It couldn’t happen here

                To the migrants and the queer

But the victimised

                Are normalised.

They are coming for the migrants

                Women and infants

They are coming for the woke

                Soon the other folk

There’s a shitstorm on the streets

                The poets are all asleep

Opher – 29.1.2025

A madness seems to have taken over. We’ve forgotten about kindness and compassion.  All you need is love. Those were the days.

All you need is hate is the new mantra.

They are coming for the migrants. They are coming for the woke.

They are busy burning books.

They will soon be attacking the queer.

Intolerance  rules.

They’ll be stonings in the square.

They’ll be burnings in the stadia.
