that one thing

ye shall know them by the mass murderers they idolize.
for verily i say unto thee:
if she wasn't such a rapt enabler of apartheid,
or the veiled gallant of Wall Street;
if her "Democrat" apparatchiks hadn't
mocked Democracy;
if she didn't profit with her husband
from snatching that very dream
from the first nation of former slaves,
and her minions hadn't arranged
the Nazi revival in the Ukraine;
if a sizable portion of the billions
Obama gave the banks
wasn't gaining interest in her war chest,
and she hadn't been paid several fortunes
just to privately assure
her supporters of her support;
if she didn't refer to industrial mass murder
as "taking civilians",
or see whistleblowers as traitors;
and if her legacy as Secretary of the Imperialist State
wasn't strewn with all those
uncounted and "dispensable"
dead brown bodies;
there'd still be the hero worship of Henry Kissinger.
and that one thing would surely tell me
that there's psychopathic grasping
where i'd hoped to find a soul.
