Accusing the War Criminal

when the “dignitary,”
the president or the lesser puppet
stands down from their post
to “write” their book &
blab on the lecture circuit,
those who remember the bloodshed
of which their administrations
were responsible
make their way to the front 
to grab the mic & point the finger
at the figurehead of
atrocity,
the button pushing, torturous 
unfeeling robots,
who continue to lead our world
into 
catastrophe---
these war criminals will not be 
exemplified at another
Nuremberg,
for there will never be another---
s/he gains immunity from the
world’s ability to imprison them &
keep them from profiting after 
they leave their post,
by the shaking of the bloody & dirty
hands
of their crony counterparts,
those co-conspirators 
in the quest to keep elite order
as the rest of us fester---
but when one sees them in public,
when one speaks up against them,
the words flowing from your mouth
will be caught on all the phone video 
cameras 
in the audience &
their slimy reactions will also be seen,
then being broadcasted on the net---
so keep up the good work!
your finger pointed in disgust inspires
the rest of us!
