Our Robespierre, Our Machiavelli

 Our Robespierre, Our Machiavelli 

your power-lust soul reeks, 

like the mass-dug graves 

likes hands freshly drenched in pedicide

genocide and homicide, 

the trail of blood leaves an invisible stain 

on your immaculate white babarigas

unseen by all, seen by all

oh tiny tyrant, whom Fate has seemingly nurtured for such a time as this, 

what will be your end, you despicable one?

will you die a pauper like Machiavelli, 

become a crippled invalid like the loathsome Sergent Rogers, who was dreaded by all at a time

now beaten by life, a shell of his fearsome self, 

or will your tiny neck, out of which sprung millions of untruths

grace the guillotine, like Robespierre, the  public accuser, 

amidst the ecstatic joy of the murderous mob?

Or will fate look the other way and reward your bloodthirsty avarice-filled years filled with gilded rot?

Only time will tell

Ennui

Listlessness settles upon me like a stubborn fly, only the Quest will settle its wanton touch, Conformity, comfortability and rest wring my neck like a strangler, my mind is restless and listless and will not be content to wander about with the mudane and the ordinary

Rizpah

  You stare at the fallen in unspeakable grief, and recall the first steps, the tiny hug, the baby smell all the little details a mother knows beneath the terebinth tree oh Rizpah, the pleasure of all eyes the delight of Saul in his prime what have you become? fighting birds of prey and jackals as they stalk the decaying  flesh of your flesh... Amoni was the quiet one,  Mephibosheth the witty one, who laughed even in sadness Here they lay eyes agape in unspeakable horror, hung like thieves Saul would gather them in the small of his arms, and they, beauties to behold would giggle in delight Rizpah, your existence is that of demented reality and excruciating dreams in the middle of insanity The Jackals have come again, aiming to savour the carcasses of your decaying sons,  I stand weakened by hunger and sorrow, and shoo them away again. God of Israel,  take this pain away
