‘Condemnation’ and other poems

By: Philipp Ammon

Condemnation

Cleese is a racist
Just as Trump
Evil
An old white man

Communion
Join
Two minutes
Hate

Find
The racist
The sexist
The ageist
The ableist
The bigot

Find the foe
He is
Everywhere

He is
Hideous
Devious
He won’t tell
He is
You know

Find the crime
Make the conjunction
Find the link
The link exists
Dig deeper

Obtain victimhood

Find the link
To a victim
You are one

Feel
They
Have wronged you
You are right
You are the righteous
Not right-wing
That’s sure

Redemption
They must
Redeem

They
Owe
You

Play this card
House of Cards
Woke

Wrath
Of the righteous
Identify
Mankind’s
Enemy
Now

Bliss
Please
Give us
Safe space

Say all
Peace and safety

Never withhold
Never restrain
We must be
At ease
At once

Thy kingdom come

The Nude

Politics as it really is,
The naked truth:
That’s Donald Trump.

Enterprise of England

Great and most fortunate                          

By George!
What an Armada!
Three lions
Better than Brexit
Never surrender
Roar
We fought them on the field
What a fine hour!
Nothing is lost
Almost victorious, happy and glorious
We sing with heart and voice:
Three lions
By George!
