Masquerade

Unmask the masquerade
A sham charade
Put him on parade
For the lies and abuse
Let him perform
Dance of death
Usher in now
A new birth

Colourful shameful raffia
Fade in the twilight
Twilight of age
Like dusk to dawn
Dawn till dusk

In his eyes!
Fling ash!!
Tear his voice!!!
His silent noise
Overrun the gutters
From north to south

I am done
I am done with you

josephus The PoetBay support member heart!
A very powerful diatribe against all bully's, tyrant and abusers and scoundrels! Very well written with visceral alliteration. Well done.

I can think of a few international figures that, if they had a shred of decency left, should cringe as they read this.
