𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡

Keep us in strict isolation,

And block skeptical information.

Close our borders — lock tight!

But don’t turn out the light!

For we are the terrified nation.

Archibald Portrait Prize, limerick, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry, Postmodern art

𝔸𝕣𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕓𝕒𝕝𝕕

One needn’t have skill or be wise,

To take out the coveted prize;

But postmodern mates

And inherent traits

Admired by the judgemental eyes.

Хлеб и цирки

Хлеб и цирки

Before they could tend to the rot,

The nobles were gulaged or shot.

And all things that were good,

And the crosses of wood —

Bread and circuses replaced the lot.

— D.N. O’Brien

Intensifying Peacefulness

As saintly protesters increase,

Diffused is the perfume of peace.

They’re such gentle souls,

With such peaceful goals.

Including “Defund the Police!”

Corporate Communism

Corporations, limerick, Limerick poem, Limerick poetry, poem, poetry, Political Correctness, Woke Corporations

𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦

Corporations are communes of course.

A requirement to list on the bourse

Is that companies must be

Fully woke and PC.

Social values they must reinforce.

Driven Out

𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧  𝐎𝐮𝐭

I am white, so they wish I should go.

So I’ll leave — I will go with the flow

From the blue to the red;

They prepare a seedbed,

And in time they will reap what they sow.

— D.N. O’Brien

Babes in Arms

𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐬

It’s their pregnant battalion men — run!
They are armed to the teeth — every one!
They’re a terrible sight!
And it’s not a fair fight!
For let’s face it — it’s two against one!

— D.N. O’Brien

Scat – a – Brains

𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐭-𝐚-𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬

The crazies we call Democrats,
Along with Republican rats,
Have failed to slay Trump —
They’re having a dump,
Then making a meal of their scats.

The Healing Process

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬

Don’t fall for their bullshit term “healing”.
It’s your self-respect they’d be stealing.
They are the truth-haters.
Cave in to these traitors,
And soon to their gods you’ll be kneeling.

— D.N. O’Brien

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐲 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

It’s really a worthless endeavour —
We can’t hide from microbes forever.
One day we must face them,
For we can’t erase them —
Will they ever leave us? No never!

They have us locked down underground.
We tremble with fear at each sound.
They call: “Come and fight!
For you have the might!
And soon will you cowards be found!”

— D.N. O’Brien
