I’ve been biting my tongue

I’ve held back since the day after election. Waiting, standing by. I haven’t fired back at any onslaught. The accusations, the screaming, the joking, telling us to give up. I knew it would be this way. I’ve always believed that you don’t show your hand until needed. Mother fucker, lets get this shit done.

The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon
by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
