With no more
Domineering air
Forking his dirty fingers
On twisted-horns
-bearing greasily hair
Soot-greased devil
Sitting on a
Squeaky old chair
Pensive said
“Oh my God
Oh my God
Expansionist, bellicose,
Brutal terrorist TPLF
Is due
To eat me out
Of my abode—
Hell my foothold.
Here too it is
All out to
Out-Herod Herod!”
‘Abstain from creating
Ethnicity-based strife
Downsize gainstrife!’
When advised,
‘Astray not from
A normal life!’
Racist there
Is a Junta
That shot
His children
And wife;
Even endearing it
Doesn’t work
As it stabs
On the back
Old friends
With a knife.
How it dared
To kill many a cow
Shows from lucifer’s race
It is the most
Bloodthirsty bough.
In a way
From religious
And moral values that
Runs counter
TPLF troops adores
Gang raping
This and that
Young girl
Before her father.
As found
In a state of emergency search
It makes garrisons and stores
Out of a mosque and church.
There is no terror in the horn
Without TPLF’s touch.
