𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬

I see that you support the Marxist mob;
I envy you — you are so very woke.
While I assumed you were a well-heeled snob,
I see that you support the Marxist mob.
Encourage them to burn and loot and rob.
Watch thoughtfully while wealth goes up in smoke.
I see that you support the Marxist mob;
I envy you — you are so very woke.

— D.N. O’Brien

A Parting Sonnet

Tags

Australian poet, hypocrisy, Petrarchan sonnet, poem, poetry, selfishness, sonnet

I hope that you can see why I must act.
I’ve searched my soul – I’ve given it much thought;
Night after night, with demons I have fought.
As for advice – well that I haven’t lacked;
Most lend support; by some I’ve been attacked.
To stop me – I know that is what he sought –
That man – I put his interest at naught;
He has no claim – you’re mine and that’s a fact!
So I’ve decided – oh please understand!
It’s with regret that I must let you go,
Before you see the world – before you cry.
It’s cruel I know, but I must make a stand.
And though this is for you a fatal blow,
For my sake you must go…and so…goodbye.

Today is I.W.D.,
But it seems no different to me.
There Muslimahs go,
All in black – head to toe;
Perhaps one day they’ll be set free.

Casting Stones

He’s been ostracised by his peers.
They barely could hold back the tears.
They’re all throwing fits
But they’re such hypocrites,
For they’ve known about it for years!

A Broad Church

Australian poet, Broad Church, Broad tent, hypocrisy, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

There’s no need for you to repent;
We take all the crooked and bent.
We’ve thrown out the rules,
For we’re not complete fools –
How else could we enlarge our tent?

Banksy

Australian poet, Banksy, graffiti artists, hypocrisy, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry

Banksy just hates corporations,
And with them he’ll have no relations;
But this socialist saint
Uses corporate paint
When crafting his clever creations.

A Red Flag

Tags

hypocrisy, limerick, poem, poetry

That old flag we’re intending to ban
Represented man’s cruelty to man.
Sure, it flew o’er the brave,
But they sought to enslave!
No! It isn’t the flag of Japan!

Blinkered

Two race horses have popped their clogs,
And emotions have gone to the dogs.
Let’s eat chicken and beef;
Feast to cope with our grief;
Slaughter sheep, cattle, poultry and hogs.
