Razor Wire – Pogrom Ready

(A Metal Wire or Ribbon with Sharp Edges or Studded with Small Sharp Blades, Used as a Barrier)

Latest

Razor wire like “freedom”
Was designed to rip the asses
Of the poor and underclasses.

Razor wire outshines napalm
Allays all anxiety and doubt
The affluent kept safe the indigent kept out.

Razor wire has deep psychological deterrent effects
Inflicting the most serious of cuts
Slashing violent criminals and asylum-seeking mutts.

Razor wire-encircled concentration camps
Benefit the destitute and others.
Children reported playing and their happy smiling mothers.

Razor wire offers the displaced a transient homelike air
As pogroms covertly erase these useless feeders
Go ask the self-righteous legislators and the waving leaders.
