President Manifest
Crackling sparks flew in diatribe hatred,
Jaw-snapping vitriol, hyena raised hackles,
Secure insecurity giggled inanely,
Bared yellow-bone, fangs of jackals.
Mouth that yawns trapdoor premonitions,
Pandora’s box fixed in cold shark eyes,
Releasing the bats, sick and plague stricken,
Bubonic repugnance meets ego despise.
Dull, dumbbell dense, thick as molasses,
Xenophobe hairstyle caps petrified brow,
Crow’s feet cracks frame sunken-in sockets,
The president manifest, down we bow.
Hailing void frequency, wild and unfocussed,
Harpy-shrill cackles in brain dead bazaars,
Nothing breeds nothing but death and ambition,
Light eating blackness, black as dead stars.
