Just Doing My Job,
Ma’am.
(The Excuse of Every
Good Nazi.)
Denise Adaya Marcel.
You beasts with your black suits,
Camouflage, khaki, sunglasses;
Helmets and protection
Against the unprotected
Decry sanity in your
Ostensible cloaks of invisibility.
Listen up Changeling:
It is the suit that holds the mightiness,
It is never you, you see,
You only create the nightmare.
Only an imbecile would ameliorate genocide.
Only a peon would pledge
His mother’s blood to a cuckoo’s
nest
Simply to be deluded like the rest;
Your paycheck means you work
For the ghouls who finance fratricide.
Super-Heroes hold true power.
Unlike Superman - who alone,
perhaps,
Naked still retains his
magnificence -
You are merely a worthless
instrument
In a black rented suit.
What would you do if you came upon
other black suits beating the
reason you are present.
What if it was your soul-mate,
The mother of your children.
Your mother
Your father
Your freedoms
Your inspiration
that lie bleeding at your feet?
Because we believe in freedom,
stand with the multitudes
you justify and deny the dignity
of humanity?
To you we are the “hoi polloi”,
“The Great Unwashed” masses.
You work for those who see us this
way.
Exactly whose job are you executing
When you enforce your own
mortality,
When you destroy
the reverberation of a down-trodden
nation?
Just Doing My Job, Ma’am:
beating children with a truncheon,
spraying them in the face with a
toxic chemical
is what I have been trained to do.
Even if it’s your own beautiful
daughter?
Would you take off your black
suit,
Or hide behind another thug and keep beating?
Would you spray your grandmother
In the face to demonstrate
virility?
Would grab your mother’s hair
And drag her down the street?
To testify loyalty to estranged
Concepts of humanity,
And heap destruction upon your own
community?
your face mask,
your shield, and guns,
your agent provocateurs,
gas mask,
clubs and LRAD;
"Just doing my job, Ma'am."
Black suit, would you be protected
Once you take that costume off?
The black suit has the power. Not
you….
You are nothing but a pawn of
hell.
