Come on, Il Duce*
Squash the wretched of the earth again
Crush them in their misery
Deeper into the muck of abject poverty.
Grind their bodies
Into lifeless dust. Broken hopes, broken hearts
Empty bellies—lifeless dust.
Isolated and alone
How long can they resist?
You who are inflated and obese
You with your heart of ice your
Mouth hemorrhaging a tyranny of lies!
Injustice is not forgotten.
There are crimes not to be forgiven.
A reckoning is coming on, Benito.
And daily we grow stronger.
Go on, clown of crime
Sheer the threads of
Your destiny. Seal
Your cultic fate.
Inclusion
Like a new harvest moon rising
Points the way
On the road to equality.
It is human (vulnerably
human) the need for freedom.
It is responsible
To work to further peace.
Race and wealth and nation
Do not define humanity.
Guess, Benito
What defines humanity.
Injustice is not forgotten.
There are crimes not to be forgiven.
A reckoning is coming on.
And daily we grow stronger.
*Benito Mussolina, self-titled Il Duce, was an ultranationalist, Fascist dictator of Italy and war ally of Adolf Hitler.
