Accelerationist

Caleb Vasquez wanted to accelerate civil war
Tried to shoot up a Mosque, didn't get past the door
His manifesto said the race war is coming
Under our feet, the tremors are humming.

He didn't like blacks, illegals too
He admired Hitler, and that Nazi crew.
He asked why historically Jews run from so many places
He thought that proved that evil hides behind their faces.

The Patriot Front blames Jews for immigration
Hundreds marched recently, to my consternation.
But I look at Sweden, Germany, they opened their borders
It wasn't a Jewish ruler who gave those orders.

I look at Russia, that brought illegals to the Polish side
Putin wanted to cause chaos, at least one Polish guard died.
I look at the boats coming into Britain from France
French leaders won't stop them, a puzzling stance.

So Jews get it from both sides
They flee Muslim anger, flee a rising tide
From Canada, from Sweden, and from France
For a safe life, they look for a chance.

Then they are blamed by some folks for the surge
Jews have gotten killed because of that in Pittsburgh
Now Mr. Vasquez went after Muslims and killed three
I hope he's wrong about civil war as our destiny.

The Mosque he shot up also went off track
Two 9/11 hijackers prayed there before their attack
And the Imam said Hamas attacks were the result of genocide
This was days after Oct 7, after torture, and homicide

Vasquez also blames women, for not dating him
I don't blame them, but he's not alone, and that's grim.
I don't want this civil war, can't we be brothers?
Don't want to be blamed for the sins of others.
