THE PROPHET ]
Asmoday is a King.
He has three heads.
The bull for raw power.
The man for the law.
The ram for the drive through whatever stands in the way.
He rides the dragon.
His feet are the goose.
Fire issues from his mouth.
He gives the Ring of Virtues
and makes men invincible
and teaches the mathematics of consequence.
He has seventy-two legions.
The United States has two million people incarcerated.
More than any nation on earth.
More than China.
More than Russia.
More than every authoritarian state
Americans name when they need a mirror to avoid.
Asmoday has been in the statute books
since before they were called that.

[ VERITAS VOX ]
Nixon's domestic policy chief, John Ehrlichman, said it plainly:
the war on drugs was designed to target
the antiwar left and Black people.
Criminalize them.
Raid their homes.
Disrupt their communities.
He said this in 2016.
He said it on the record.
Nothing changed.
Three strikes and mandatory minimums
filled the prisons with nonviolent drug offenders
while the architects of the 2008 financial collapse
received bonuses.
Prison labor earns between twenty-three cents
and one dollar and fifteen cents per hour.
Prison labor produces military equipment.
Prison labor makes furniture for state offices.
Prison labor fights wildfires
for two dollars and ninety cents a day
and cannot be hired as firefighters
when they are released
because of their record.
The school resource officer in the third grade classroom.
The suspension that becomes the record.
The record that becomes the disqualifier.
The disqualifier that becomes the sentence.
The sentence that becomes the labor.
The labor that becomes the profit.
The profit that lobbies for longer sentences.
Republicans built the prison.
Democrats funded the prison.
Clinton's crime bill added one hundred thousand police
and tens of billions for new cells.
Biden wrote the bill.
I see you, King on the dragon.
I see the three heads.
I see the Ring of Virtues
on the finger of the invincible
who cannot be touched
because they are the ones
who write what touching means.
Memento mori.
Every empire built on bondage
eventually faces the reckoning
it spent generations trying to postpone.

[ ASMODAY — THE SPIRIT SPEAKS ]
I am a King.
I have seventy-two legions.
I have always been a King.
The bull head built the institution.
The ram head drove through every challenge to it.
The man head wrote the law
that made the driving legal.
I ride the dragon of precedent.
Precedent is the dragon.
It moves where I direct it.
It breathes fire on those who stand before it.
It calls the fire justice.
I give the Ring of Virtues.
The ring is the badge.
The badge is the invincibility.
The invincibility is the qualified immunity.
The qualified immunity is the reason
the killing is not a crime.
I teach arithmetic.
Two million bodies times
the cost per body per year
equals the industry.
The industry funds the lobby.
The lobby fun
