Point of Fact

 .

Article link: North Koreans Find Unicorn Lair

 .

I stumbled on a hidden lair

That housed an ancient beast.

I stumbled on it unaware

While walking west to east.

 .

’Twas in the lair I came aware

Of certain climate change,

Which weighed upon the morning air

Throughout the mountain range.

 .

I found as well abiding there

A war on womankind,

Which cut my heart with cold despair

And weighed upon my mind.

 .

I made an effort to repair

To points less filled with dread,

But tripping over free health care,

I settled there instead.

 .

Among the myths I said a prayer

That I would soon be borne,

Across this world of disrepair

Upon a unicorn.

My goal is to produce poetical cartoons. I try to use metaphors and caricatures (or a politician’s own words) to address complex political and social situations. In this way, I sum up current events in humorous verse.
