Nick Armbrister Jimmy Boom Semtex Poet Verse

Orwellian Rise

We live in a world where world leaders do what they want
Shoving nationalism down our throats here there and everywhere
From Putin the Dog’s Neo Soviet adventures in Ukraine and Syria

To President Trumpton’s use of American weapons like toys
Via England and Wales kissing goodbye to Europe in Brexit
There is misplaced national pride everywhere

Including Turkey’s Erdogan the Goat’s goal of being dictator Iran style
Backed up by France’s National Front racist anti-immigration female Le Pen
These bumholes work together to take the world back a century
Stomping upon their populations’ wishes and liberties

In the name of misguided pride and national advantages
Where only the leaders benefit with even more power and control
Red China has Xi the Turtle who steals an entire ocean and builds new land
Closely followed by North Korea’s dear plump pudding leader who’s a pure psychopath

There will be fifty others not mentioned who are all the same
Pedaling their selfish ideals and beliefs in the name of national development
Catching every person in a vice like grip and stealing their freedom

All to make an Orwellian Twenty First century world where people are pawns
With every thought and each action monitored in minutest detail
The only escape is death and a one way trip to the next world
Away from this inherently unstable place with its mad leaders
