With their hate exposed and their minds closed tight
They are marching on to that old red beat
Down the bloodied road and the blackened street.
Theyโ€™re the nightmare spawned on the darkest night.
Theyโ€™re the Marxistsโ€™ dream, both the black and white.
Theyโ€™re the proof that the Westโ€™s decayโ€™s complete,
With its bones now dust neath the marching feet
Of the damned divisions that smear and smite.

While they know not hunger nor great world war,
And no sacrifice has been asked of them,
Their preceptโ€™s the product of one mad brain โ€”
And all but what pleases, it will ignore
And all that displeases, it will condemn,
For it is the master of crowds insane.

Australian poet, BLM protest march, poem, poetry, U.S. Civil War, U.S. riots 2020

A war most uncivil? A military coup?
Thereโ€™s no going back, and the options are few.
Take heed of the lawlessness โ€” look at the crime!
Thereโ€™s one thing for sure โ€” it is different this time.

A Whiff of Grapeshot, Australian poet, BLM protest march, Bony, Napoleon Bonaparte, poem, poetry, U.S. riots 2020

A โ€œwhiff of grapeshotโ€ was Napoleonโ€™s fix,
To lay waste to legions of riotous pricks.
But thatโ€™s not acceptable practice today;
โ€œYouโ€™ll pay in blood laterโ€, old Bony would say.

I see that you support the Marxist mob;
I envy you โ€” 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 โ€” you are so very woke.

It isnโ€™t surprising that eunuchs are kneeling,
Nor is it surprising that looters are stealing.
The eunuchs support them, (and thatโ€™s not surprising),
Encourage the rioters โ€” bless the uprising.

This violence, this mayhem must cease!
And crime, it is on the increase!
I wonโ€™t have a gun!
So what can be done!
I know! Letโ€™s defund the police!

The city burns โ€” the idiots applaud;
Their virtue signalling is plain to see.
As fuel upon the raging flames is poured,
The city burns โ€” the idiots applaud.
Their safety from such mayhem is assured,
For theyโ€™re as far from it as they can be.
The city burns โ€” the idiots applaud;
Their virtue signalling is plain to see.

Aฬถrฬถsฬถoฬถnฬถiฬถsฬถtฬถsฬถ Protesters

We are not arsonists, we must protest!
Oh damn, another building up in flames!
A squad car just exploded โ€” whoโ€™d have guessed?
We are not arsonists, we must protest!
And weโ€™re not anarchists! Give it a rest!
So stop harassing us and taking names!
We are not arsonists, we must protest!
Oh damn, another building up in flames!
