A Sitting Duck

Arrogance personified

No surprises his colour was orange

Loud, proud and a warning signal

The forked tongue another

Nobody saw the pointed tail,

tucked down the seat of his pants

Nor the curved horns underneath

a crop of candyfloss hair

But only those who would listen

could hear his rallying cry,

‘Send your sons and daughters to slaughter,

for my ego has forged a battlefield,

and the words I spoke with my sword,

created a hole your sacrifice will fix’

His minions rejoiced perched up high,

on an imaginary wall built from deceit,

brick by brick, lie by lie,

crumbling from the inside.
