I dream a dream in which I am watching a commercial on TV.
The commercial is a promotion for a new show and it contains the bright orange face of a man breathing fire.
There is a text that accompanies the image:
"No Foul: The Darkson Firestorm"
1
The meaning is clear
A fire-breathing man,
An arsonist who inflames instead of calms,
Who ignites the smoldering tinder poised to engulf the rancorous heart
Who would rather burn down the house
Than see it governed by another
Because winning
Winning isn't everything
It's the only thing
Who would rather burn down the house
Than open wide the gate
We know who this is
We know what they want
The fire-breathing man who foments division
Arouses fury rage and bile
Who unleashes the savage in those who follow him
Instead of taming it.
Is about to incite the Dread Season
To bring forth the storm
To beget the darkness
Is about to bring forth
Hurt and sorrow into the land:
Proud Boys
QAnon
Wolverine Watchmen
All stand poised to bring the fire
While The Red State Senate nods and bows
While The Red State Senate stoops and kneels
Complicit in the darkness

No foul means
No rule
No value
No oath
They will not break
Ignore
Betray
For the sake of something surly and small
No inner sense, code or qualm that calls them back
That calls them to a better way
No figure, divine or human other than he they will obey
No higher truth
No greater good
No principle to which they are ultimately loyal
No last remaining shred of whatever it is that stops a man
Not Jesus
Not God
Not the fear of hell
Not the still, small voice
Not the voice of a prophet crying in the wilderness
Not a child in a cage screaming for her mother
Not a man on the ground with a knee to his neck
Not a million people dying who should have lived
None of these give them pause
None of these engender doubt
They think they are saving the soul of America
But America needs to be saved from them
They are the cult of the fire
And they will not be quenched by tears or blood
