The Fools Cycle

Poem

He’s up there,

Sitting

On his kingly throne,

Reducing

All the things you own,

Berating

Everyone you know,

Elevating

Babies just for show.

​

He debates

What to make you do,

Animates

What he wants from you,

Communicates

His speeches from the loo,

Elates

With words bathed in poo.

​

Be brave

with him and risk it all,

Wave

and smile since that’s your role,

Pave

His fame into the wall,

Save

Heads rolling through the hall.

​

Our People

Want to skin him alive,

Illegal

He seduced our wives,

Sheeple

Only want to thrive,

Feeble

Knives blunt like their lives.

​

We Announce

A Revolution through the streets,

Denounce

And protest with every shriek,

Trounce

Our oppressor at his peak,

Pronounce

A friend that whispers words we seek.

​

The King is dead, long live the King,

It’s a cliché we all like to sing.

The statue brought down with a bang,

Old man it’s high time you hang.

​

There are no more worries,

Our pillows soft like clouds in children’s stories.

Serenading our new leader’s call,

All for one and one for all!

​

For he's one of our own,

He’s up there,

Sitting

On his kingly throne.
