In Suppression of Treason What Motive Or Reason

Irony, often, enacts comically fatal roles, Brings dignitaries down from their highest pedestal poles; Sometimes, in a symbolically pragmatic costume, Of the protagonist, destruction its role does assume; Julia Gillard, Australian feminist Prime Minister, Kitten heels! Fell over public! Earned laughter sinister! Unprejudiced slip! Humiliated tentatively! Escorts and envoys, though, waited on her attentively! Her fall followed her fiery address on male chauvinism, Fall on grass and fall-from-grace were linked to her feminism; Did Julia Gillard abet the Western Australian State, From the crown of the United Kingdom to terminate? The alleged treason, with her falls, harmed her reputation, As her opponents wished, these led to her resignation; Conservatism of foes, I'd conclude, is cause of her fall, To cry in wilderness, yet, she has felt, has been her call...! 20 April 2022 In suppression of treason what motive or reason Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Joe Maverick
