Yasemin Balandi Poet Rhyme

The Frog No 1 and No 2 and the Beast

They  opened  Pandora’s box

For their own vested interests and political gain:

Frog the Nigel and Frog the Gove

Pulled a wool over common folks’ eyes

With their lies “Fear not!

Just vote us out of Europa!”

“Once out of Europa, we will carry our England on our backs

To Americas!”

So the poor folks listened to them and cast their votes out of Europa

Soon to their dismay, they found out that the frogs were a pair of incompetent in-posters

 incapable of carrying vast amount

Of our glorious land to America 

On their backs

Then the folks disowned the frogs

In secret

But frogs knew this to be the post truth

So that with terror in their hearts, they ran to newly minted

Orange beast in Americas

They knelt  down in the golden elevator 

And kissed the orange beast- Trump’s ruby ring.

They begged the beast to kiss them back

So that they would turn into princes

“You are doing great!” 

The beast shrugged them off his rings,

The frogs came back to motherland

Reported that the beast promised us the Americas.

But this time common folks refused to believe the 

Deplorable frogs and kicked them back into the mud.

And this is the true meaning of post truth.
