Boom-boom-boom, boom-boom, IRGC
You brought this on yourself
Now you hide in bunkers
It is what you need
The IRGC caused suffering
Now they're feeling it
F35’s now fill their skies
Another Ayatollah’s been hit
Shoot at the UAE
Say it's not your fault
The World sees clearly
Go and hide in a hole
You funded terror
Now your body has no soul
Funded HAMAS Palestinians
How does it feel to get
What you do to Iranian civilians?
You could have avoided all this
If you wanted to
But empathy
Was never your view

How on earth can I relate to the news they choose
It’s enough I’m forced to pay politicians dues
Comments without commas, coming each and every day
Commons talking pros and cons, never to delay
Let them Russian dancers sing, and Ukrainian singers dance
Let the Iranian strait float, I won’t take a chance
To go there, over there, and right there to see
How it goes I care as much as they care for me
Life seems better without news they put on the roll
Fooling me about the things out of my control
South Korea got their bronze, than predictably
Went to hell, I beg your pardon, to obscurity
It’s a snippet I remembered, and it hasn’t gone
Every game contains another, with no players shown.
(For the restoration of justice, peace and normality in the middle east)
Pride of arabs, hezbollah
and you, iranian army
take the initiative. Unite!
to deal with the scumbags
and with the houthi for support
different cultures, common goal
together you can do this
Reclaim the stolen arab land
make israel disappear
the ethnostate of criminals
the most immoral country
the genocidal zionists
insult to all mankind
its puppet has blood on her hands
america's complicit
That entity should not exist!
a crime is its existence
for justice, for humanity
from every map erase it
(Then, the whole planet will rejoice
indians are excluded)
Tangerine tan man masterplan such chumps
Plumps to rain down bombs on Iranian clumps
Logic stumps as facts and pacts again dumps
Throat lumps as fossil fool fuel prices jumps
Getting trumped and thumped at the pumps
Oil barons gloat gazumps.. economy slumps
No cargo due to embargo everything flumps
Even a MAGA fan is now down in the dumps
Grumps got the hump with Mar a Lago frumps
Thicker than Forrest Gump deadlier than mumps
need not be conspiracy
nor parade of lunacy
or ignore bear
and fold in despair
putin put in prison
with warlords clinton bush
obama trump biden
to gehenna all push
this coincidence
though not providence
consequences still apply
when russians die
iranian friends fry
hezballah hamas fail
gazans who live do so in hell
created by modern israel
who is loved by corina machado
asking hatchet for maduro machado
and gives aid to our good saint zel
so progressives pink washed
don't want you be squashed
but let this sink in
as advocate violence
and boost cause silence
merrikka israel win
time after time again
for sake of all love god
don't be a brain clod
while ukraine remains cannon fod
Shirt collars
This old man, how weak his voice
he should not be in front leading the charge
winning a war for the righteous
His work is done
He can sit in the garden of peace and think
of how to re-design the shirt for those
like Iranian politicians, not wearing a tie
as a statement, they reject the western values
An election in a country where politicians
follow the same rule, there cannot be a change
unless by a bloody revolution
He can also think that without the freedom
of expression, there can be no democracy
He can also, while having the time to think
regret that he often ignored the truth for
the sake of political advance
at that point, he can become a philosophical
and say weighty things like:
Truth is the ability to survive!
He will call his biographer to put his insight
in the forthcoming book.
O, how the palm trees sway
in the breeze from beyond the bay...
Scores of Iranian missiles whiz past
~ May Iran's reign of terror cease at last
YouTube and Chis Hodge
It came as a surprise to me that Chris Hodge
has been banned on YouTube, a man of knowledge
worth listening to
He is an honest intellectual; as such, it is hard
not to be critical of the Jewish negative influence
in the world we inhabit
Of course, I see on Facebook that I have become
skeptical of, the wiseman Chomsky often appears
his criticism of Israel doesn't plow a deep furrow
The Iranian attack on Israel was a warning
as they couldn't let the Israelis bomb their
embassy go unnoticed.
I fear, since the Jews are always righteous and hard
done by, will retaliate, thinking by pushing the envelope
further, will get the USA involved
This will not be too difficult, as the Jewish lobby
practically runs the US's foreign policy, and for us
who have a dim view of Israel and are not optimistic
Let me leave the fabric spinning off "social lubricant."
Or the amino acid that alters brain attention
the alert, attentive, calm, cumulative jubilant
I attain at a cup of tea is beyond all mention.
There's a thrill when shades spill from black to brown to red hallow
Or in gold, silver, or copper amalgamation gleam
My heart, mind, and face become a melodious mallow.
Vigorous and victorious, indeed, is my day's dream.
Accommodativeness and trustworthiness all arrive.
Creative performance with divergent thinking does thrive.
Efforts of honesty and hard work spin into a hive.
Wherein cooption and collaboration are alive
Indian, Italian, or Iranian, tea is tea.
All that matters is, in each one's tea, what one wants to see.
Merry Christmas, my poet friends
Nicaraguans or Spanish
May God love you tomorrow,
That cats purr in front of the tree,
American or Iranian, Portuguese
That Santa drops off gifts
In your shoes or socks,
Make a good meal of foie gras
Grilled snails with parsley, oysters,
The world needs everyone,
Merry Christmas, my poet friends,
The world needs so much peace,
Write this word wherever you go.
Slip this word into Santa’s hood.
Joyeux Noël, mes amis poètes
Nicaraguayens ou espagnols
Que Dieu vous aime demain,
Que les chats ronronnent devant le sapin,
Américains ou iraniens, portugais
Que le père Noël dépose des cadeaux
Dans vos souliers ou chaussettes,
Faites un bon repas de foie gras
D’escargots grillés au persil, d’huitres,
Le monde a besoin de chacun,
Joyeux Noël, mes amis poètes,
Le monde a tant besoin de paix,
Écrivez ce mot partout où vous allez.
Glissez-le dans la hotte du père Noël
"All a man really wants, is a girl who looks good in a bikini." - Jack Freestone
New Jersey feminists burnt bras to send swimsuit pageants up in smoke,
Iranian women drove along mountaintops, daring the wind to loosen their hair.
Colleagues in Canada removed high heels but still towered over counterparts,
tennis players trimmed dresses so they could run, fought to change white to red.
Felicity cut her hair, #nomakeup became self-care,
a mourning Queen wore black, AOC ‘taxed the rich’ on her back.
Geishas sang and danced, more than mere servants to men;
through Coventry rode Lady Godiva naked, bravery rarely seen before then.
Women have always worn their battles, embroidered their history into lace.
So, when to save lives, we all covered our supposed selling point - our face -
surely, we can do better than want only a bikini for over half the human race.
…Musk…
There once lived a hero named Musk.
Who found lies in Twitter’s big husk.
Truths were perverted,
Lies, huge, diverted!
Our leader goes to bed at dusk?
…Hunter…
Hunter has cash, babes, and hash.
A noble man, sure, with a bad rash.
But why should he care?
We pay all his air fare!
Fool, twirls in an Iranian sash!

Entry for Anthony Biaanco’s
Musk Poetry Contest.
Chairman Xi, like Chairman Mao
Vladimir Putin, shades of Josef Stalin
Kim Jong-un, plus Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Iranian Mullahs producing drones and bombs
Our world is an awfully dangerous place
Yet America's response is a first-class disgrace
Yesterday Congress' focus on International Pronoun Day
At New York's UN today, autocrats against Israel inveigh
At home, crime's way up, 'so' we end cash bail
Why not let all the thugs out of jail
To protect its citizenry, America's government once existed
Now it opens the borders, its explanations ham-fisted
Add to all this rampant inflation, rising racial tensions
Plus self-defeating 'green goals' and underfunded pensions...
The 'threat to democracy' shouters couldn't be more wrong
The reason it's real ~ America misguided is no longer strong
On the 16th of September 2022 Mahsa Amini 22 was arrested by the so called morality police in Iran, because some of her hair was showing from beneath her head scarf
3 days later she died in an Iranian hospital, after been beaten over the head with batons, whilst in morality police custody
A morality police spokesman denied responsibility, but said they must enforce this religious law because if women do not dress properly, then men could get provoked and harm them,
Women in Iran, and all over the world are now protesting against her murder, some hacking off their own hair, and refusing to wear head scarves.
An estimated 185 people women included, have died in Iran since the protests began after Mahsa’s death.
morality police
to overestimate her guilt ~ is to underestimate their filth
burnt her wings she can’t fly away ~ now her stumps make angels in the clay
