Robespierre
Who wouldn't like to have the power to kill
Friends and enemies at will and fill
The jails with people you don't know or know
Only slightly from meeting them a year ago.
Maybe at an AA meeting, where they don't even use last names.
Hi, I'm Fred. Instead of being someone who constantly blames
And complains, why not annihilate?
Why not hate? Why not exterminate? Why not violate
Their rights and their bodies? Tell
The truth. Who wouldn't like to? There's a wishing well in hell
Where every wish is granted.
Decapitation gets decanted.
Suppose you have the chance
To guillotine the executioner after having guillotined everyone else in France?
– Frederick Seidel (2016)
