It's Not a Threat, it's a Promise
a message to fascists who keep playing with fire

We showed you our numbers,
Yet, you didn't get the message.
Now you've weaponized hunger,
And think you're an invincible threat.
/
His pathetic birthday show,
Still sticks in his craw.
He's a braindead old pervert,
Who thinks he's over the law.
Humpty Dumpty needs to have a great fall,
How you gonna build a ballroom when you can't build a wall?
/
Fascists deserve caskets,
There's no need to mask it.
There's no decorum in a war,
And you aren't winning again.
There's no red hats without hatred,
There's no kings in this office,
You'll all be gone one day:
That's not a threat, it's a promise.
/
Your bruised hands are bloody,
From the lives you've ruined.
All the little girls and women,
And all the dead children.
/
One day you'll be a chapter,
In a dusty old history text.
All the people who survived you,
Will hold you in contempt.
Humpty Dumpty fell from his throne,
Here's hoping you collapse into a pile of gilded bones.

That's not a threat, it's a promise.

Humpty Dumpty tried to build a wall...
Humpty Dumpty isn't that tall.
I hope that all of his horses and all of his men,
Are fed to the worms and never heard again.

YOUR POEM GOT ME PUMPED! So good. So brutal. So true. He doesn't give any dams about the lives he puts at stake. I don't usually agree with the insinuation or the outright saying someone should pass away.... But... SOME facists DO deserve caskets. Thankfully, he can't lie his way out of death when his time does come. When he's gone, the rest will hopefully remember how to be human again.
Amen to the nth power.
Great piece!ππ
