INTO THE GREATEST OF UNKNOWNS
Hell announces itself in hushed, muted tones
On the tail of chaos: a ruthless deafening swell
Supreme architect of sickness
Of sickness it pledges to quell
Serpent heads consumed
Casualties, unrest
Pawns filling unmarked graves
To the victor, the spoils
Crowned by uncivil conquest
Pandemic frenzy now ensconced
Heavy, noble toils begin with a reckoning
To free the long arm of bureaucracy
Unquestioning drones secure the rule of absolute authority
The organ
Of genocide
Speaks
In sentences:
Summary
To be carried,
Meted out -
Immediately
Purging perpetrators
Survivors alike
Guilt or innocence
A mere formality
Untouchables
With the traitor's stain
Erased from history
The organ
Of genocide
Speaks
In sentences:
Summary
To be carried,
Meted out -
Immediately
Citizen butchers
With ideals immaculate
Bones made stone
Blood for mortar
Build the pride
Of an empire
The organ
Of genocide
Speaks
In sentences:
Summary
To be carried,
Meted out -
Immediately
Grow old and wither
In collective lobotomy
Old and wither
Decay in ignominy
Fated to infamy
