Crimes Against Humanity (Again)

A historic global
criminal enterprise once
built on the toxic waist
line of a low testosterone
eunuch war monger
white nationalist
creep: Hitler
and millions suffered
tortured, starved, died
in the name of one man
who couldn't get it
up in Germany.

Now medical files
show DNA, hormones
inadequate levels
for potency
a lack
of ability
for normal
intimacy
the gonorrhea spirochete
in the ageing body
preying and paying
girls: Epstein
another historic
global criminal enterprise
sex trafficking minors
trading favors for
the private peccadillos
of the world's movers
millions of pages
photos, videos, lawsuits
denials and downfalls
for elite men:
for whom
sex is corrupt
sex is warped
sex is not sex
but power
over others
these men
with no power
over the body
the sick self.

 

Exonerated

I was totally exonerated
I didn't do anything wrong
isn't that nice, yes, I think
it's very nice I can speak
about it nicely.
Sir, what about
the 13-year-old girl…

She wasn't my type
if you're a star
you just grab 'em by the…

Sir, what happened
to the 53 missing
pages you are in
the FBI interviews
about the young girl…

I was totally exonerated
I think it's a shame
I did nothing
I have nothing
to hide.

Sir, what about the girl
from Interlochen
she said she met you
with him…
the girl in the spa
that girl, she said…
the girl who said
she told the FBI
four times…I said
I've been redacted
I mean exonerated 
very nice I said

have you seen the Dow?

United Nations v. the Epstein Administration

It is time now
to end impunity
for the perpetrators
of a global
criminal enterprise
of systematic
large-scale
sexual abuse
trafficking and exploitation
with a backdrop
of racism, corruption
extreme misogyny
commodification
and dehumanization
of women
and girls
and girls
and girls as young
as 13, 14, 15
from different parts
of the world…

So grave
is the scale
nature, systematic
character and transnational
reach, reach, reach
of these atrocities
atrocities
atrocities
that meet
the threshold
of crimes
against humanity...

It is time now
to end impunity
for the perpetrators
here's looking at
you
you
you…
