V-Day

By virtue of a void, invalid vote,
The vacuous victor says he will divest
His vaunted, vile-advantaged leverage.
The vision of his vantage point unveils
A veritable viciousness, to vie
With varied evildoers, violating
Geneva's values, individual rights,
Virgins and veterans, evoking vice,
Veering from vows, voraciously devouring
Vast verdant vistas paved by avarice,
Cleaving the earth and ever ravaging,
Impov'rishing victims, devaluing life
Mit Luftwaffe und Wehrmacht both devolved
To pulverize and level villages.
Guilty the verdict on this vanquisher
Of vapors, vacant and vainglorious,
Conniving deviant of feverish verve,
Pervert, who can but ravage and bereave
And deceive with his versions of events,
Lover of viscous, volatile oil
Venting from venal veins that vex the heavens,
Revivalist via favor, fervour, fear,
A living overthrow of evolution
Previewing Revelation's vengeful beast,
Of voice verbose, evincing foul vengeance,
Ill-versed and vehement in devastation,
Vomiting livid, vulgar vitriol,
Vociferous, deservedly reviled,
Vituperative, vindictive, venomous,
A villainous viper Time shall villify.
Though never to the vanguard has he strayed,
Invectively by violence he's inveighed
Like virulence, and ventures to invade.
