Trump evokes the Mao of capitalism,

tornadoes, a windowless synagogue

Is this my shelter? Am I safe here?

Silent women stand up

Heroic men stand up

Their hands covered in blood

Ready to fight for justice

Ready to save their people

From another war on terror,

A war on drugs, a war on opiates,

a war on liberals, a war on conservatives

crying in their nightmares.

Free Verse

About the Creator

ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR

"A look around us at this moment shows what the regression of bourgeois society into barbarism means. This world war is a regression into barbarism. The triumph of imperialism leads to the annihilation of civilization." (Rosa Luxemburg)
