“Executive Orders”

Global Rights - Human Rights

1

Their war will soon come

like rain falls for all of us

weary and hungry to be

free from fear

 

a war as subtle and endless

as a deluge in

a murderous monsoon

 

from small greedy steps

giant armies plague and poison

our soft-sweet planet.

 

2

The names and numbers of our dead,

we see, are now likewise superfluous,

swiftly cut-down and soon erased

 

uncountable, too, as if we had brought

to birth

only an excess of bone and brains

 

and always the rotting guts spread

like fertiliser, faceless and serene

on the Empire's brutal battlefields.

 

3

i still cannot shut my eyes at night

at the terror of it,

the ruthless noise of its wretched

awakenings, its crudity, its lies

 

and the smell of hypocrisy

that should sicken even the sadistic

stomachs of these naked emperors and

their mass murder-machines.

 

Enough said...

 

4

…for now we live in a time where

even the pen has been beaten into a sword,

and this paper is now digitally transformed

into more proclamations of mass destruction

 

and see, one last deadly plague descend,

as this fool, he wields his dumb ‘sharpie”

and a whole world will soon collapse under

an army of Orders

 

cities under siege by bureaucrats

and bombs, by bullies and buffoons

with their armada of armed threats

and false promises

 

and always, and everywhere

the silenced cry of their exterminated victims...

 

5

Such power...in

the hands of hoodlums!

 

as if these masked and demented delinquents,

these well-armed, well-dressed and dangerous thugs,

these crooks, criminals and con-men

had not accomplished or stolen enough

 

on their monotonous and marauding march

across the inhuman yet still faceless face

of our own bloody History.

Alternative “Executive Order”

Zohran Mamdani announces anti-ICE executive order

“If faith offers us the moral compass to stand alongside the stranger, government can provide the resources. Let us create a new expectation of city hall where power is wielded to love, to embrace, and to protect. We will stand with the stranger today, tomorrow, and all the days that are still to come.”
