Metal fragments flying,
Murder of the innocents,
The manticore walks.

God,
Thought it extremely odd,
His followers from the United States,
Prefer to be a killer to one who negotiates.

Warmongers drop bombs,
Profit, not peace, the target,
Wounded doves dying.

Peter Brian Hesgeth
Making much of all his Lord giveth,
A 'Jerusalem Crusader's' badge proudly worn,
A pretense to greatness, in reality a tinhorn.

Fingers trail water,
Rivulets ravine black foam,
Scared fish scattering.

Laughing into bed,
Making love with abandon,
Sheltering clownfish.

Break the deep still of the night,
The prey? The hunter?

Sir Anthony Charles Lynton Blair,
Advising everywhere,
His saintly efforts never cease,
Now a founder member of the 'Board of Peace'.

The Mango Mussolini,
Meaner than the meanest Blue Meanie,
Rants about the woke,

A shiver in trees
Rustling downhill through thick pines,
Scurrying squirrels.

The soldier dies,
Crying out in the unknown,
Vultures circle high.

Long, long, long the road,
Twisting, turning for the child,
Baying of wolves.

Blasted by thunder,
White out blinding, isolating,
Hare footprints in snow.

Pine needles drift down,
Fir needles turning yellow,

Imprisoning us in love,

No reason, no bounds.

The docile cat purrs.

Free men need no crown,
No divine leader of men,
The pelican flies.

A quivering hand
Falls bloody into the sand,
Breathing bitter air.

A double tap strike.

Grifters in power,
Con men shuffling the marked deck,
Wild birds in the house.

Dripping slow mellivory,
Bears feed at the hive.
