Enforce Rule Of Law

When gleam of dawn erases frantic dreams
of running somewhere that ever recedes,
Randall drinks coffee at the kitchen sink,
and writes in condensation on the glass
unspeakable name of God in four letters
that refract light of the indifferent sun.

When the long black van stops outside his home,
and seven men wearing red baseball caps,
whom he prosecuted through rule of law
for crime of assaulting the Capitol,
step out with baseball bats and hateful smirks,
Randall cranks rod on his new assault rifle.

When seven men smash his windows and doors,
Randall prays his wife and children are safe
where he sent them at horse ranch of his parents,
then shoots each traitor dead in self-defense
as they scream and attack him in revenge,
then hopes home insurance covers the damage.

Fired from the bureau of investigation
where he performed his duties by the law
with professional demeanor of respect,
Randall ponders job prospects in the field
of legal prosecution to arrest
criminals who abuse good citizens.

"Deceived by glamor of his policies
to enforce rule of law across the land
protecting our homeland security
against illegal immigrants, I chose
to vote for this man as our president
who sent his goons to kill me in revenge."

Before calling the police to report
act of self-defense against home invaders
sent by the new president in revenge,
Randall washes blood from his honest hands,
and chuckles as he quotes Lady Macbeth,
"Out, blessed spot of vile traitorous blood."

"Unnatural deeds breed unnatural troubles,"
Randall ponders as sirens of the law
wail dire warnings in quiet neighborhoods,
"for infected minds drive cruel brain-washed men
to perform unlawful acts of sabotage
against the liberty of honest men."

Driving long gravel driveway to the ranch,
Randall steps from his car on grassy lawn
and breathes fresh air of justice with delight
as his wife and children with joyful cries
embrace him in group hug of pleased relief,
and wind blows their hair as they cry and laugh.
