Apology of Cassandra
The People clothe thee
with power once again,
the world listens once
more to thine every breath,
legion after legion is
poured forth from fatherland,
to enslave the others,
kill the citizens with hellfire.
Unity, unity you preach,
equality for all: what lie
shall you spin to justify
yourself more? The Republic
lies dead at your feet,
not by daggers but by votes
extinguished, its citizens
conformed as imperial subjects.
But the People’s
perfection is the first flaw of this state,
perceived by you and the
traitors that betrayed the oath:
fifty five million souls
the Nation is short, blood in
womb spilled to cleanse
the People of every scourge.
Yet this People is
stubborn, so filled with the undesired:
what perverse physician’s
knife could not end the gun,
the drug, the poison must
death bring, that lies hidden
in food and water
unknowingly, provoking neoplasm.
What you wait for? Don the
purple for four years while,
crown of gold mint, erect
your tribunal in public: shame
you have none, a Senate
colluding, mete out then death’s
sentence on whosever you
wish, maim yet another generation.
An ephor appoint for life
to confirm this sad downfall
enjoy fullness of supreme
power, unchecked by any court,
you need hear no more the
cry of single mother, nor protest
of Holy Mother Church, nor
see the sight of departing soldier.
All the show is finished,
now begins the plan, seditious
and secret, unleashed at
opportune moment. What prince
can stop you, what power
on Earth? All prophets of action
seem asleep or dispersed,
killed by terrible strike from sky.
But behold, your reign
shall be challenged: they who love
thee now shall see the
multitude and fly, a voice shall be heard
throughout the land, and
it shall not be ignored, for the Lord
has anointed them to go
with courage and without fail.
Yea! Hear the oracle now!
Dismiss not the holy ravings,
lest you yourself ope the
door for enemy. They are at the walls
with fire from their
destroyed homes, ready to exact revenge.
God seek now, or perish
with your power: so I say and destiny orders.
