Mussolini saved Italy
from a possible Nazi conquest,
he saw an alliance with Germany
as an opportunity to avoid
another horrible Holocaust!
This truth was never told
for fear that the Italian people
would have declared
Il Duce the savior of Italy;
wasn't his decision the smartest
choice he had ever made?
Although Mussolini invaded
many countries, he also
did good deeds; women were
fascinated by his charm,
my mom was one of them...
he was the perfect image
of masculinity and also
of obstentious vanity!
Sadly, Mussolini was hanged
upside down in that Milan's public
square; the Americans wanted
him alive, but his voice
was forever silenced by
the revengeful partisans!
Italy never gave him
the credit and the honor
he deserved, but he was
spat on, kicked and
by a vicious crowd!
I am honoring Benito Mussolini
with my ode for his great
leadership despite his errors;
may History remember him
not as a traitor, but as a savior
and a citizen who loved his country!

I am not a player
But a hunter
penetrating your soul like an American vampire sucking your blood, am no Adolph Hitler
destroying a civilization
creating the Aryan nation.
I’m not like the bomb in Hiroshima
but my words are nuclear
destroying your devilish philosophy,
I don’t eat no spaghetti
‘cause me no Benito Mussolini;
I am
animal
cannibal
just like Idyanimal Dada
using my words to trap you.
Call me whatever!
Cause you don’t know me
but
I know you
cause
me no the poet
but
the poem made by the sound of hand grenades
creating painful melodies
chanting
Uhuru Africa!

Attila the Hun was a kindly old soul
He raped and plundered the land
With the aid of his murderous henchmen all
A truly psychotic man
The kind of man you'd like as a friend
If you love to ransack and pillage
Hitler was another of these murderous souls
Marauding each town and village
Need more of the likes of Benito Mussolini
Such honourable leaders all
But I harken back to Attila the Hun
His exploits leave me enthralled
May seem like I've tumbled over the edge
But I blame it on dear Eileen Ghali
She poked and prodded me into submission
Could no longer dilly and dally

Benito Mussolini was known to folks in Italo as Il Duce.
But they became disenchanted and hanged him with a noosey!
He was strung upside down with Clara Petacci his moll!
'Twas an ignominious finale for his closing curtain call!
