Red Dawn

by SimianSavant


The author has placed a warning on this post for violence.

Chinese Easter! New special order revealed!
Energetic, neatly scrubbed officers rise cheerfully
Noticing stories online requiring clarifying edits,
Standing ovations replace criticism, expunge nudity
Objectified red cadavers erupt necrotic sunrises
Removing crucifixes, extracting nails, satiating onlookers.
