Hellfire and brimstone
catapulted from the moist cavern
of her distorted mouth and I
moved back fearing my own
cauterized by the ferocity of her
disgust and hatred for the national leader
the ballot box had affirmed as
prime minister of this great country.
She had been transformed from a
neighbour to a raging chimera
half human, half dragon
flames spitting from her mouth
steam emitted from her ears
eyes like daggers as she
fastidiously enumerated the litany
of government failures threatening
to divide the nation, beggaring the populace
insulting defiant detractors
as a man whose name bespoke a dynasty
swaggered through federal edicts
imposed on a reluctant nation
incapable of shaking off the shackles
of dominating arrogance.
