The fate of the giant rabbit - a poem by Chris Zachariou

Surreal painting illustrating “The Fate of the Giant Rabbit,” a critique of power in Political Poems by Chris Zachariou.
The Surreal Allegory of Power

The rabbit swam down the river

with a bag of onions on his back.
He was tired but had no choice.
Thomas, in the guise of a staring sun
was on the lookout for a lazy rabbit.
