They

Posted on 09/22/202509/22/2025 by admin

They appear like shadows in the night
invisible dark invigorates hate reprised
the culmination of malodorous spite.

Jack booted, zealous, history to rewrite
their fascist rhetoric innocently disguised
they appear like shadows in the night.

To spirit away those who oppose their might
in unmarked vans, decidedly organised
the culmination of malodorous spite.

Intern those “problems” at a black site
disappeared, no longer enfranchised
they appear like shadows in the night.

Now you understand the “others” plight
as you’re the target, their grand prize,
the culmination of malodorous spite.

Camp herded to howls of utter delight
they haul you and ignore your cries
they appear like shadows in the night
the culmination of malodorous spite.
