A Paradise of Assassins

He thrived in a paradise of assassins,

His failures, unfelt and fleeting.

Only self-proclaimed wins

Kept his errant heart beating.


He never built anything,

Nor completed fickle task.

He could only imagine,

Then shout, then bask.


He inserted triumph’s cock

Into fame’s purchased pussy

To prove that he had plenitude—

Not too small, not too wussy.


Was it only the alternative 

Of a woman with a burden

That threw fickle choice

Towards a fate so uncertain?


On that day our father died

Dictating a dark legacy.

The crowds were quite meager

For an assassins’ jubilee.


“What now? What do we do?”

Ask the growing number.

How can we awake

From this nightmare’s slumber?


If we ever come to,

Will opinions be a crime?

Will the news be banished?

Will there still be time?


A paradise of assassins,

Each with their prey,

The fitting sequel 

Of a past made of clay.
