modern justice politics
the way to win a war
is to declare the enemy all around,
each of them boxed and checked off,
transfixed unexpectedly shocked
to be so declared
it must be on immaculate irrefutable basis
by the same established principles
they had themselves just
been cheering, and learning to use
feeling themselves just.
the way to win the war
is to make sure everyone on all sides
knows at any point
they could be marked out,
crossed off,
pariahfied
so WATCH IT
is the watchword.
Weren't you just explaining righteously
enlightening someone about the disgusting
inhuman anticompassionate 'them' you
have so summarily been welcomed to?
This is how we will win.
We must amass
an army
disgusted, confused,
indignant and disorganized
swollen ranks of the summarily-deputized
enemy, and then
we will walk right over them.
