In a World Full of Orcs
Where the call to war resounds, over and again, its
propaganda installed,
By duty bound, all sacrificial lambs, for the regime,
into allegiance called.
Where all thought is uniform, and alternate views, are
prohibited, benign,
And children groomed, from the cradle to the grave,
with war enshrined.
Then one day, they come of age, yet in the eyes of
many, much too young,
Before the age, of insightful wisdom, yet strong
enough, to brandish a gun.
Each raw recruit, from the age of innocence, who could
predict the worst,
Out for heroic adventures, with the bubble of
adolescence, certain to burst.
Strutting in their uniforms, marching up, and down,
soldiers out on parade,
Oh, the glorious thoughts, wherein the foundations,
for war have been laid.
Such pride inside, like never before, now the envy of
their unsigned mates,
Sights set, their romantic dreams about to falter,
where first blood awaits.
Soldier boys, sodomized, and brutalized, in this
wicked Orc army perverted,
By desperate convicts, who have traded prison time,
for absolution inverted.
In a dangerous bid for freedom, a second chance, or
become cannon fodder,
A risk, that they are forced to take, fighting for the
cause, as a bullet stopper.
With no surrender, no turning back, no retreat, no way
forward, no way out,
Forced to fight for their lives, guns aimed at their
backs, should they bailout.
Drunken soldiers, who have learned their fate,
despised by the army brass,
Waiting to be sent forward, into no-man’s-land, where
their time will pass.
As decoys for the big guns, to draw enemy fire, lined
up like ducks in a row,
Where all life is consumed, like popcorn and candy
floss, at Putin’s sideshow.
His circus, going round for round, protracted,
prolonged, in his bloody war,
As each roller coaster ride ends, in a bloody mess,
his fair calling for more.
All perish the thought, that his regime might win,
each battle along the way,
With the world destroyed, and overrun, with unruly
Orcs! Oh, perish the day!
