Loyal to a Fault

by Steven Kent

“As Hungary Gets a New Leader, the ‘Trauma’ Sinks in for Orban Loyalists … [M]any who depended on Fidesz for jobs and protection are already changing sides.”
The New York Times

The new guy? We love him!
There’s no one above him!
So full, our defection
Since April’s election.
Fidesz, we deserted;
We’re fully converted!

I swear, by September
We will not remember
Orban, who enriched us,
But never bewitched us
Like Magyar, our new boss.
We’re loyal to you, boss!
