I Am Your Retribution

I Am Your Retribution

 

 

If you’ve been abandoned or displaced

if our country now seems hollowed and debased

I am your retribution.

 

If it matters less and less to you 

whether testimony is untrue

I am your retribution.

If you think fondly of military parades

and are hoping for a reason to stock up on grenades

I am your retribution.

If unusual, delusional behavior

strikes you as a long-awaited self-inflated Savior

I am your retribution.

 

If democracy has fallen ill and rolls around on gurneys

and you’d like to see it go away before the 2030’s

You are my retribution.
