The Ogre


   


                                                                                   

The Ogre 

 

 

He is a small man with a big vision,

A vision which involves returning to the old borders.

Lebensraum the Nazis called it.

And, we know what happened to them!

 

The little man is sitting behind what looks like

A reception desk in a very dodgy looking hotel.

If this was Dublin, I would imagine

Some old knocking shop in Leeson Street.

 

He is snarling into the camera as he addresses

‘the ’ people. He is not happy, this much is clear.

But what about? This much is not.

 

For two years, during a pandemic, he has been secluded

 Away in his palace revising history with the Tzars,

                                                  Playing out history with histoy soldiers.
