To the Cornelius Fudges in our midst


They huffed and they puffed and tried with all their might
But the man on the throne said: “That can’t be right!”

“But Voldemort’s back! I saw him with my eyes!”
“Good joke Mr. Potter, no more telling lies!”

Delusional and in denial, he refused to budge
Loyal to his throne he was, Cornelius Fudge

Blinded by his fantasy, a despicable sight
As Muggle-borns  were hunted in broad daylight

Teachers and their students were now enemies of the state
While the Daily Prophet sang, on all-fours, prostrate

As he hid behind his dream and they watched him in dismay
The Dark Lord clad in saffron, grew stronger day by day

To Fudges all around us, warm regards I must send
Hope you wake up soon enough, before it all ends

For vengeance is the buzzword as the trishools maim and scar
The multicoloured fabric, whose threads we all are

As the saffron storm approaches and all before it fall
Together we must stand, united and tall
