The ultimate purge
The annihilation of constructs
Thought to be concrete,
Solid
Anchored by nuts and bolts,
But alas!
All that was built
From shaky beginnings
Manifests unsteady endings.
We watch from afar
As the carefully constructed walls
Come tumbling down
Like dominoes,
Deconstructing previously
Sturdy structures
Built from false promises,
Reinforced by pseudo convictions.
We watch from afar
As communities get sold
Into an ideology that neither
Reflects their ethos
Nor embodies their lifestyles,
Communities built from
Bloodshed and war-torn origins
Salvaging the remnants,
Piercing together lost souls,
Rummaging through rubble
In an attempt to capture the essence of
Lost treasures and reconstruct,
Realign,
Redesign,
But alas!
It’s far too gone
You got too arrogant
Thought you were cloaked
By invincibility.
You pillaged and ploughed deep
Into the recesses of kind hearts
And mined all the kindness
Turned it into bitterness
What a fucking mess!
Pat yourself on the back
You sure have a knack
For displacing,
Disrupting,
Summoning chaos with the snap
of your dirty fingers.
Beware that the ultimate purge
Beckons you,
Follows you,
Chases you through labyrinthine mazes.
Your huffing and puffing
Won’t save you this time,
You dodged the bullets for far too long
Destroyed lives for far too long
Your hide and seek tactics
Have come to light
You have been found out
You’re a fraudster,
Hang your boots
Your tenure has come to an
Abrupt end.
The ultimate purge
Worked its way from the bottom up
Carefully sieving the wheat from the chaff
Worked like a turbine on steriods
To annihilate the falsehoods
And in its stead build hoods
With sturdy anchors.
Don’t mess with the purge
It’s coming for you.
It rights the wrong
Ticks boxes
Records every address
It will address
Your cruelty
Rearrange your false facade.
You are not immune
To its viciousness,
So behold, you monger
The ultimate purge is coming…
Got your ducks in a row?
