revenge will come

revenge will come

but not yet.

you would have forgotten

the sin and the fury,

the impunity and the arrogance.

you would have forgotten 

the songs we sang,

the songs of liberation,

but we will remind you

revenge will surely come

but not yet.

you know heaven won’t send plagues

to make your skin rot in public

nor impalers in white horses

to flay your flesh on the tarmac

but we will remind you.

revenge will definitely come

but not yet

you will not remember

the bullets you sent us

that pierced the lungs

and spattered the brains.

we will find out

where they came from

before we melt them and hand 

to the avengers coming after

but we will remind you.

revenge will meet you

but not yet

enjoy your blood meal today

enjoy your power, today.

you should know

we will dig up your grave

and feed your bones to your children

this revenge will come

but not yet.
