I Am Not Your Sacrifice

a declaration to men in power who think we are just pawns in their game

By CT IdlehousePublished 3 months ago 1 min read
original artwork

I refuse to be a sacrificial lamb,

Butchered and burned,

All for the sake of a predatory man.

I will not be responsible

For your weak character,

Nor will I give in to demands.

/

I won't be thrown in the fire,

To cover your bruises.

I won't be shredded into pieces,

And pasted with excuses.

You're not gonna break me

Into believing your lies.

I am not your scapegoat

And I'm not your sacrifice.

/

Little man with a big brand of insanity,

His ravenous fans full of cult-like mentality,

I refuse to find common ground with fascists.

You don't deserve a ballroom, you deserve a prison cell,

But I'd settle for a 9mm trip straight to hell,

I'm looking forward to day you're lowered in a casket.

/

I won't be thrown in the fire,

To cover your bruises.

I won't be shredded into pieces,

And pasted with excuses.

You're not gonna break me

Into believing your lies.

I am not your scapegoat

And I'm not your sacrifice.

/

I hope your afterlife is suffering 24/7...

I hope your victims can view your suffering from heaven.

I hope the little girls you raped get a Nobel Prize...

I hope all your hotels are turned into piles

Of rubble like the East Wing...

You can destroy property...

But We the People want you bleeding.

For every hungry family,

For every deported human being,

For every woman not believed,

For every child suffering.

I want to see you begging for mercy on your knees,

But I'll settle for the total destruction of your legacy.

/

I won't be thrown in the fire,

To cover your bruises.

I won't be shredded into pieces,

And pasted with excuses.

You're not gonna break me

Into believing your lies.

I am not your scapegoat

And I'm not your sacrifice.
