Mongolophobia and the Eastern Horde
Neither a fable,
Nor a tale,
This is a fact,
A story to tell,
To everyone, female and male.
To generations, younger and frail.

That struck the world like a beast,
Attacked Europe...

All hope was vain and nothing could atone
for deeds beyond atrocity defined.

through apathy and rhetoric maligned.
Though hell’s regime forged mechanized deceit,

IN THE DARKNESS OF IMPERIALISM
I was born in a banana republic,
Between the carnivorous chains of Françafrique,
In an open-air dumpster,
Where tyranny, barbarity, and savagery speak with arrogance.
I am perfumed with all the nauseating scents of misery.
I grew up under the...

To drown my homicidal regrets and masochistic fears.
Sadistically driven by revenge claimed so long...

I WILL NEVER BE A POET
I stopped dreaming after defying the reaper.
My existence has no shine,
I cling to life like a suicidal soul
flirting with its own boundaries.

Kingdom of Ruin
Rising from the desert sand
was a shimmering mirage
of a thousand shouts
Heated winds of fanaticism,
intense and blowing violently loud
Shrill calls to blood prayer seethe,
breathing fiery invocations
of a perverted philosophy
Screaming death to the infidels —
a scarlet...

THE DARKNESS OF HUMAN PERDITION
