More bad poetry

Alejandro Cao de Benos de Les y Pérez is the founder and president (or should that be Dear Leader?) of the Korean Friendship Association. He is thus one of North Korea’s main useful idiots (with the emphasis on idiot). Like other Juche groupies he also seems to have a liking for execrable poetry. This one was published in 2004 in a defunct KFA newsletter called Lodestar.

Beyond the Bektusan

The Motherland oppressed for so many centuries
Our beloved Leader transforms the history
The paradise on earth emerges
Korea salutes to the eternal Sun of the Juche

By the streets of Hyangsan
a child question to his father
How it is the life beyond the Bektu?

People kill for money
The egoism is king
There’s no peace neither harmony
just a nightmare, nothing else

Ten years of life are enough to pull a trigger
Ten thousand are needed so that the miracle takes place
What is our fortune?

From the sky came a great warrior
With a heart purer than the diamond
He rescued us from the suffering
Brought the happiness and pride
to this horizon

To live and to die following his steps
There will be no tear lakes that fill the emptiness
But guns and soldiers who will defend his conquest

Hmm this is just too easy. I will make this the last bit of bad poetry to appear here for a while (unless I deign to write some myself of course!)

  1. Another gem of your poetry collection, by Dermot F. Hudson:
    Poem by Dermot Hudson



    The thundering crack of gunshots still does echo
    over Korea,not only there but over the whole wide world
    even though 70 long years have passed and flowed away
    decades so long yet so short

    Gunshots ringing out heralded the
    new dawn of liberation,of a new Korea bright and free,
    of the glorious Songun revolution.Ever victorious iron-willed
    brilliant commander,heroic patriotic partisan
    the illustrious General Kim Il Sung fired
    the shot that tore Jap imperialism into
    a million and one pieces

    Oh worthy warrior of Mt Paekdu
    leading the stouthearted partisans of
    the mighty KPRA to shatter the chains
    of Japanese imperialism,shockbrigade of
    world fascism,to dispatch
    the murderous Japs to their doom

    The flames of revolution burned brightly
    at Pochonbo that night consuming
    the oppression of Japanese imperialism
    The crack of gunshots and roar
    of flames merge into a mighty
    thunderous sound of the Songun revolution

    The banner of Pochonbo is today
    raised ever higher,the echoes of gunshots
    at Pochonbo reverberating ever loudly
    signalling the final victory of the
    Songun revolution


    jams, your taste is horrible. The not-wife will not-divorce you, if you go on like this.
