The buttons will all be pressed
Men and women
of Conviction and Character
of Love and Lust
of Beauty and Truth and
all those wonderful words those of us without god choose to capitalize in order to fill some lonely void.
Will be killed.

In their place will come
******* and *******
those hawks
who tighten their wings and arch their claws
to pick our bones clean.

Those who seek to remove any notion of
Brotherhood, duty, and compassion
To replace them with
Isolation, greed, and
whatever sort of survival of the fittest ******* they attempt to shove down our throats so we keep embracing the free-market.

Our only retribution
is knowing that they will never be happy
and their children will be medicated
and hate
and die
and stink
