Paul Buttigieg Poems

Blacks can never love whites
Whites poisoned our hearts
And
Our children
...

I sent a couple over Japan
Just to show them that I'm the man
Kim Jong Un with a nuclear plan
I'll kill all westerners just because I can
...

I’m black
I have no issue with that
You’re white
I have no issue with that
...

Someone
Turns out the last light
A Blackout
And
...

Must have been a massive struggle
For poor Betty and Old Joe
To raise children in numbers you couldn't count
Using all fingers and every toe
...

He told me about the war
Amongst themselves their own fellas
And the grog the jails the police
He did not want to talk about the women
...

You did not get to meet Arnold,
My wonderful green tree frog,
Befriended him in Queensland I did,
When we shared a sodden log.
...

Jump stones
Dodge bending fronds
Scented flower stems
Like magic wands
...

Seventy two virgins waiting
For a dead man

Tragic
...

I turned sixty today
Almost
Without permission
Whilst my love left so early
...
