Sonnet: The Droning of Julian Assange

by John Kendall Hawkins


"Can't we just drone this guy?"

- Hillary, to some State Department colleagues, Oct. 2016


Sometimes I wonder where they'll drone Assange.

Lonely cloud wand'ring among the district lakes?

Blow up Belmarsh -- and no more snakes!

Or catch spears chucked -- an aerial melange!

Maybe they'll chase his beard -- he'll lose face!

Or give him a shower room baby bump!

Turn it to a scene from Forrest Gump!

Animadversion: The Wiki disgrace!

The MSM erizers will be there

to see him martyred for their cowardice,

marshmallows at the fires of his disgrace,

and not a soul will give a sh*t or care.

Well, that's the Game Plan -- to just wear me down.

Long defilement of the Bill of Rights clown.
