Coup de Foudre
They told me, if you’re camping and it’s raining,
to never touch the fabric of the tent
inside: they said it breaks the seal, explaining
that any person so improvident

The Soul of a Tyrant
A tyrant, though he’s feared, he also fears:
A symmetry of horror unites them all.
Unleashed, a dragon that forever nears,
And he, as all the rest, it soon may maul.
A tyrant rides a tiger, yet he knows
It is not love that keeps him in that place;
And that which comes, it just as swiftly goes;
The claws of retribution

Trump
He never thought that he would win
it was another grift to spin
and so like every venture past
he used each trick to make it last
The coup became his newest con
to be debated when he’s gone
his tangled web of racist lies
would give rebirth to fascist rise
His life has been

THE OLD CHICKEN COUP
There she stood with tears rolling down her face and cheeks
Looking downward – such innocence – mild and meek
Her first trip to the slaughter house was no joke
Proved to be a one-sick hoax!
Slowly but surely – she told us the story
Leaving out NOT the gory!
“I was asked by dad
To join him fast
To pick out a

Coups, Elections, and Africa
In the heart of vibrant Africa, where democracy should reign,
Two shadows lurk, two specters haunt, two faces of the same pain.
One a soldier, gun in hand, the other clothed in suit,
Both rob the people of their choice, both the people's voice they mute.
The military coup, so stark, its violence loud and clear,
Ousts the leaders chosen

Will the junta hand back power to ousted
President Mohamed Bazoum?

Coup De Grace
(Coup de grâce)
Oh, it’ll be so easy if only
I, in collusion with
the angels and the demons,
usurp God from heaven.
It will be a crucial coup
to overthrow God
and enthrone the Devil.
With such malice and hostility
of man toward man
it’s beneficial to let the devil
take over for a change
and let humankind destroy itself.

Revolution
I want to be able to like myself
see what those who love me see
Still why I dwell on those who hate
Is a constant mystery to me.
Negativity jealousy plain dislike
How is that force more strong?
Than pure and unconditional love
Somewhere it all went wrong.
I apologise for being me
For existing and having opinions
Somehow I

Long Armed Groot
A long armed Groot at the root of this fruit/
The strong alarmed the wrong loot and followed through against the coup/
Flipped script is ridiculous as I re-jiggle this penned mess/
Stripped it’s ludicrous how crude I kiss and caress this sent injustice/
Picked up this food for our crust to protrude and fizz it does just

Coup D'Etat
Fashioned in enameled vacancy,
the gentry’s veil was pierced
Exposed unclean, all vices seen,
through fury sharp and fierce
The folly of their blasphemy,
whose cover all but blown
With blood to flow from ramparts high
—once driven from the throne
(Dreamsleep: December, 2021)
