The political scarecrow

mandated on oath to prune the
giant tree, plough it fruit and chop
it down at the appointed time

but you prostrate naked before
the unusual tree, smiling, laughing,
begging and pleading for a peanut
of your genetic cake

you adore the sear-hearted tree,
concur to her oath of lie and betrayal
- the mouthpiece of the idol tree

"i'm the pillar, the flag and banner
seeing me is seeing all, share me
the looted cake and no one will cough"

not enough
you borrow the arm of the mighty tree
infect our downtrodden life
with panic diseases

o, dear political scarecrow!

how real
will your smile fall the dramatic tree
erected on our mother's corpse
to confiscate our inheritance

can laughter transfigure the giant tree
planted on the path of the common grass
to impede sprouting buds?

how sure
will contending for bloody seat
uproot the draconian tree
lay to extirpate green grass?

how long
will pleading transplant flagitious
tree cultivated on our father's tomb
to block the path to our heirloom

how long
will you fetch from political stream
with sieving basket of a half-wit

why not with modern urn
to serve the common

o, dear political scarecrow!
