The Last Thoughts Of Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre
Exterminate the brutes
Just as I was
thinking of what
a powerful thing
the mind was;
how it could make
the past come alive
and living memory groan
or
give birth to guilt
joy, hope, and hatred …
Just as I was
convinced of its magnificence
my thoughts were cut short
my head lopped off
clean like when a
watermelon is cut in two.
What will happen if they ever
improve upon this guillotine?
