I’m not a fan of Kasem Suleimani
I don't like the Iranian regime,
But I don’t think his slaying was that funny –
An act of lunacy in its extreme!
What was expected? That we’d start applauding?
Well, bravo! What a fascinating twist!
Most people, though, has found this appalling –
A dodgy triumph of a narcissist.
His “feat” was neither glorious nor thrilling –
Hypocrisy brings hatred and dismay.
It’s funny when a joker plays the villain,
It’s scary when it is the other way…
