(for Askia Muhammad[1]<\/a><\/sup>) – 15 May 2022<\/strong>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

the hateful\u2019s favorite tool for dismantling dissension,<\/p>\n

their weapon of choice<\/p>\n

for punishing those who refuse to gap their legs wide for rape w\/out protest.<\/p>\n

when decency raises it\u2019s head\/SANCTIONS are the blood-dripping guillotines<\/p>\n

used to cut off their cries, and chop up their humanity to make happy meals<\/p>\n

for the hateful and their spiritually deficient spawn.<\/p>\n

it\u2019s not the AK\u2019s, the nuclear missiles, or the atomic threats that rain havoc<\/p>\n

over national populations, but THE SANCTIONS<\/p>\n

those ruthless acts of loathing that yank the food out of the mouths of children;<\/p>\n

that withhold medicines until the need for body bags spiral;<\/p>\n

that restrict the flow of giving from one caring nation to another for fear of physical reprisals.<\/p>\n

SANCTIONS are the cowardly way of forcing nations into arrangements that<\/p>\n

murder their citizens softly, while the hatefuls wash their hands of their crimes<\/p>\n

with the same water Pilate used to scrub away the crucifixions.<\/p>\n

SANCTIONS are the hateful\u2019s way of avoiding blood shed while causing hemorrhages<\/p>\n

in countries that usually want nothing more than to live and let live.<\/p>\n

it\u2019s the redwhiteandblue way of bringing non-allies down to where their faces<\/p>\n

can be stepped on, their elderly can be trampled, their women can be induced to miscarry<\/p>\n

and their children\u2019s bellies can be distended beyond belief.<\/p>\n

uncle sam is the King of Sanctions, the one whose funky finger of fate<\/p>\n

has been designated as the only power righteous enough to point out<\/p>\n

who and how many need to suffer or flee from their homes to find the hueman necessities<\/p>\n

that amerikan dogs have in abundance.<\/p>\n

the only one proven to be willing to smother entire nations for their refusal to kiss his star-spangled ass.<\/p>\n

one day soon, the citizens of the world will get tired of cowering,<\/p>\n

tired of biting their anti-amerikan tongues\/tired of being bullied into submission,<\/p>\n

tired of letting one despicable nugget terrorize\u00a0everything on the planet that breathes.<\/p>\n

one day soon, the worm will turn, the shoe will end up on the other foot, the irrradiated chickens<\/p>\n

will all come home to roost, the gander will slap the spit out of the goose<\/p>\n

and what was sent around will come back around, with a bloody vengeance.<\/p>\n

one day soon, the bottom feeders will live high on the hog!<\/p>\n

the always at risk, will take some risks and cast their votes for global decency.<\/p>\n

the fence straddlers will either fall on one side or be knocked to the other.<\/p>\n

the divine energy that breastfeeds the world will be under new management,<\/p>\n

and the powers that be will flee, leaving you, Askia and me<\/p>\n

to be the sanctified lovers we have always fought to be.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
