Another Othered Nightmare Before Christmas...




...a Trail of Terror

by
Alfonso the Mouse


🎄📽️🐁🍪

*

so let's invent some
ridiculously evil thing,

like say,
a hate crazed mass murderer
shooting people
at
a wedding celebration
(smack in the midst of a 24/7 deluge of wall to wall leavened up close and personel eulogies for those who actually matter caring unsparing Australian fanfare).

and then,
one upping Stephen King,

we'll throw in

offing
some little ones,

to take away
their
pale railed
humanity bailed

(Coalition Willing the Killing)

"freedom" doomed

(never exhumed)

barely just blooming dreams.

*

but wait,
let's make it even more
ridiculously evil,

hurtling down
that
sickly flickering
blood
slicked
road
even farther.

let's set the scene at a bombed out school
compassionately housing
displaced people,

who've already suffered untold

(dependably uncounted) horrors
and
are living out of
bags and handouts,
with
terror sewn into their seams.

that's just about perfect.

*

now, to make it truly believable,

who could our villains possibly be?

an imaginary "anti-Semitist"

(that newly redefined
profit mined term
for
people who defend themselves
by
taking up arms against an illegal occupation,

bringing to mind,
say,

Thomas Jefferson,

Nelson Mandela,

Ho Chi Minh,
Crazy Horse
or
Che Guevara?
)

of course not.

for one thing,
they're still respecting
the
newly redefined "ceasefire"

(in which only
the
intended victims
are
expected to submit
)

as
currently (enforcingly) overlooked
by
the "we-define-who-gets-to-be-people"
nation hooded "goodness" gating
privilege sated
respect for others (oh! so) dated

Hollywood plated murder prorating

racism skating United States.

*

what about ISIS,

recently desanctioned
and
"handsomely" rechristened,

murdering off
in spits and starts

the last remnants
of
Alawites, Christians and Druze,

so conveniently
enabled by the (offstage) stabled
CIA and MI6,

handily knocking
the last
unbeholden regime in Syria
the
hell out of the way?

no,
they're way too subtle,

carefully shying away
from
drawing attention
to
their mayhem.

(for 🐭 i'm ever so certain
they've been
judiciously warned 🦅
against
just that sort of thing.
)

*

how about the RSF,

busy wiping out
half the population
in
torn apart Sudan,

their weapons shipped in
by the gold swapping
oil splurching
(UK economy floating)
monarchist pals
of
the ring of winking oligarchs

slinking behind
those

hosed, dozed
and
sinking

delusion blinking

elective screens?

but that's the problem right there,

what with the
(African seamed) mainstreamed blackout

who would know
whether or not
their
murderous blight
might
fit the bill?

(besides, they keep incinerating their most unpleasant evidence.)

*

no,

we all know which villains
could
make our trailed tail

holy believable.

and sure enough,
they're the ones

who verily accomplished it only yesterday;

the world's most famous
genocidal assassins

proudly loudly
and
lavishly flourished

by the mocked democracy
and
crushed independence

of the morally bankrupt

COLLECTIVE West.
