betrayal (Remove filter)
a corpse among crows (07/15/2025)
we touched the sky
with suffered silos:
feigned gates on which my love might hang
scabbed wreaths creaking in idle winds
peppered, long-feln
to keep the flies off
to keep some facsimile of youth intact
another field-dressed carcass
only good for sausage
by the watershed.
ground is a funny word, isn't it?
rough-hewn earths and
torn up turfs and
a finer...

I hope it rains in hell
You wear your sins like royal thread,
a crown of thorns upon your head.
Your hands have built, your hands have torn,
they’ve held me close, they’ve left me worn.
The world cries out, it speaks your name,
etched in echoes carved by flame.
Yet in the dark, where no one sees,
you whisper love like dying leaves.
I hope it rains in hell—
not to quench your fire,

Kryvyi Rih
Civilians lie, annoyingly dead,
Innocent prey of the enemy’s sport,
While wannabe gods in Washington cry:
‘You losers! We told you. It's all your fault.’
Others in Ukraine, spared till now, await
A shabby, hardly necessary fate,
And wriggle in the web where they are caught.

The Pecking
In the yard's dust-bowl kingdom, hens
Scratch their ancient rhythms. Until
Blood springs – a single drop
Like a red asterisk in white feathers.
Then something older than bone
Switches on behind her eye. Machinery
Of beak and claw engages, pre-programmed,
As if the first raptor never died.
Her neck snakes forward, hooked weapon
Drilling deep, each strike
A vi...

The Staged Betrayal
In a calculated spectacle, Trump and Vance sought to humiliate Zelenskyy before the press, twisting truth into propaganda. Their goal? To paint Ukraine as ungrateful, to justify betrayal, and to sell capitulation as "peace." Behind them loomed Putin, tightening his grip as Trump bent to his demands. This wasn’t diplomacy—it was deception, staged for the American people and the world.
Tru...

United or Doomed!
This poem reflects the urgent and growing tensions Europe faces—internally divided and externally threatened. With rising dangers from Russia, China, and a shifting American stance, it paints a vivid picture of the consequences of inaction.
Europe, listen—time runs thin, The storm is howling, wars begin. Trump builds walls, his hunger grows, Grabs at lands where cold wind blows. Not jus...Sunday 23rd February 2025 4:39 pm
The Four New MUSKateers
This sonnet critiques the dangerous alliance between powerful tech moguls and a corrupt political figure, symbolised by the "four musketeers" who bow to Trump’s person, influence and might. It explores their sycophantic behaviour, the manipulation of media, and the betrayal of values for profit and power. The poem hopefully paints a chilling portrait of cowardice dressed as strength and the erosio...
