A roadside execution
Fri Jan 02, 2015
Was it a lesson, then?
That traitors, just like heretics,
Must be publicly punished?
Street gangs and the Mafia
Act accordingly;
Why not political parties?{{more}}
Not martyred;
A martyr dies with his faith intact.
No, an old man, at his end,
Cannot keep his faith
In a creed he sees corrupted.
Did he scream as he was crushed,
Or was the pain too quick for sound?
Perfect timing:
Christmas coming,
Frantic fix-ups,
Loose ends soon forgotten,
Suspicion silenced.
Was the lesson learned?
Will potential defectors
In the future
Stifle moral outrage
And acquiesce to Maximum Leader,
“â¦Underlining the smallness of resistance
In the face of unimpeachable power?â
