Working For Justice

Tired of working for justice.
Tired of the stubbornness of humans
who will not acknowledge the need for it.
Tired of the struggle, 
so —

let everyone
die in chains.
Let blood 
drown the oppressed.
Let the scent of their decay 
crush the flowers.
Let their absence
stun the trees into despair.

Let their bones,
once bleached, begin 
to shine, begin to 
overpower sunlight,
moonlight, starlight
combined.  Then

let the overlords run things
in the dark until
they cannibalize, starve,
and die.  

Let the empty world
lie empty.  Call the silence
all you ever wanted. 
Call that justice.  
Call that
victory.
