To Pray for Death.

I have been chided
not to pray or wish
for the death of any
human, no matter
what. Yet those
same voices sit in
silence when those
humans sever the lives
of countless—thousands
upon thousands upon
thousands. Luigi was
right. One wicked life
in exchange for the lives
of many. Trump, Vance,
Musk, the Heritage
Foundation, CPAC, Zuckerberg,
and all their billionaire
buddies. Take them all—
every last one. It is not that
we’ve come to play God,
rather, we’ve merely come
to do the gods’ work.
