Donald Trump’s much-hyped military parade yesterday to mark the 250th anniversary of the US Army turned into
a soggy, costly spectacle that failed to draw the expected crowds or enthusiasm. Despite spending millions and show-
casing tanks and troops, the event was marred by poor weather, low attendance, and a muted atmosphere. Even the
president and his closest allies appeared bored or ...

On June 14, 2025, Donald Trump turns 79 and demands a military parade for himself—echoing
authoritarian shows, not democratic traditions. This coincides with the U.S. Army’s 250th
anniversary, overshadowed by his personal spectacle. The same day marks 40 years since
the Schengen Agreement, Europe’s promise of free movement now challenged by rising border
controls. Meanwhile, protests...

In a shocking display of unchecked power, President Donald Trump deploys the National Guard to California without
the governor’s consent, violating long-standing legal norms and stoking political chaos for personal gain. Under the guise of
immigration enforcement, this move targets political rival Gavin Newsom and distracts from Trump’s public fallout with Elon
Musk. Backed by loyalists li...

Donald Trump once again revealed his disregard for diplomacy — this time by confronting
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with a baseless claim of “genocide” against white
farmers. One of his so-called pieces of evidence turned out to be a misused image from the
Congo, not South Africa, a proof for Trump’s deficit in education. This poem delivers a sharp,
unsparing critique of Trum...

In a grotesque display of ego and irreverence, Donald Trump crowned himself a mock pope
on his own media platform, Truth Social—just days after solemnly attending a funeral in Rome.
This biting sonnet lays bare the vulgarity of spectacle overpowering sanctity, turning mourning
into meme and the Eternal City into a stage for narcissism.

A maniac in power, reckless, & untamed,
No president like him, no one the same.
An outsider, a showman, with nothing to prove,
Trump’s hundred days, a twisted groove.
Erratic and errant, his temper a storm,
A weather vane spinning, no steady form.
One moment here, the next he’s away,
Like mercury shifting, night into day.
A dictator’s dream, with power to bend,
He signs,...

They said the law was ironclad,
Two terms—no more—was all he had.
No man could take the seat again,
No vote could bring him back to reign.
Yet buried deep within the code,
A hidden path, a secret road.
Not banned from power, just the race,
He’d claim the throne from second place.
Then Peabody, with studied hand,
Exposed the flaw, the law’s weak stand:
“A man who’s served his legal ...

These two sharp and cheeky limericks poke fun at Trump’s famously long tie — and what it might be compensating for. They each want to wrap political satire and playful innuendo into five perfect lines.
Trump’s tie hangs down to his thigh,
to distract from what’s small — wonder why?
He shouts and he brags,
but rumour still nags:
It’s all just a well-tailored lie.
And another:

The Fall of the False Saviour is supposed to be a powerful vision of the future, where the charade of Trump and Musk’s reign will hopefully collapse into oblivion. The people will rise, their eyes opened to the truth, and the empire of deceit will crumble. A new era will dawn—one where the voices of the people are heard again, and the corrupt are erased from memory. The false saviours will fa...

A chilling warning about the state of American democracy, as power consolidates under the hands of a few. With Trump and Musk at the helm, the nation’s soul is being dismantled, and the world trembles at the impending rise of a new dictatorship. This poem tries to capture the essence of a regime fuelled by greed, secrecy, and the crushing of basic freedoms, marking a dark chapter in history.

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.

In The Fury of the Fragile, the clash between compassion and cruelty takes center stage. Inspired by Rev. Megan Budde’s call for mercy and Donald Trump’s harsh dismissal of it, this poem wants to explore the tension between empathy and rage. It paints a portrait of a leader who wields words as weapons but crumbles when confronted with the very kindness he scorns.

A gaudy brute who feeds on hate and strife.

While Trump exemplifies the Machiavellian "new prince" who rises through personal success rathe...
