HUNTED
Like wild animals wailing
In a black forest chased
Clogged by their trailer
Cried until they hush
Their hopes dashed
Of a messiah’s mash
Away he stays
Corseted in many ways
Out of his mother land he says
He was expelled of no case
Hunted in his base
Had to tacitly transfer his base
Because he was timely bazed
SILENCE
It is said that
Lions are giants
Hence tolerate no non-sense
Ire is assured to that who
Dare the giant lions of my set
Silence is next to that noise
Of yesterday
Away
Is the talk of today
Of the assumed radical of yesterday
My environment favors no criticism
But rejoice and romance with worshipers
Of its so labeled people’s government
Dictatorship in facticity
