DARKENED TRAIL

We have seen your greasy lips

Of supple warmth nibble our geographical space with relish

With your cerebral repertoire of Machiavellian tactics

A savage sage gleaning with resounding skill

And crafty navigational sail

Your masterstrokes through climes and tongues reverberated

With your sparkling craft of vile crypt

Across regions, tribes and locales

Of your fangs that foiled good governance

 

But this time…

Your gladiatorial glide on this political turf

Shall experience a firestorm of rejection

Your emissaries across territorial divides

Shall be hounded to delusion

For the masses shall maul your mushy mantle of self grandeur

To the abyss of dishonour

For your subsequent arrival shall be booed to your doom

Your waning clout shall swing you to judgement

Of abysmal invasion

We are watching your fragile trot through this fearsome terrain

Of your permutation in levitation

For Damocles’ fiery sword shall haunt your ambition

Your raging mist on this cloudy night

Shall encounter a violent tussle

Prepare for war!

 

The scarlet venom from your cruel camp

Shall cease with instant visitation

From the warhorses of this fearless infantry

Armed with the right tools to disarm your fortified fortress

As you dispatch your foot soldiers

Of monsters and Leviathans

To play a callous hoax like the cunning fox

Their morbid mien shall encounter an eternal fall!

Let the music begin…
