according to this calender
nine thermidor, year two
age of the national razor
humane ma**-murdering tool
execurtioner's grinning
as the axe comes down
swift smooth separation
off goes another crown
thus kings and queens convicted
like Marie-Antoinette
her mug too in the basket
by pulling the lunette
sentenced by thousands
under "la grande terreur"
a dark tale of represson
and the beheadings that occured
pre-eminent symbol
for blood the ma**es roar
indomitable justice
the crowd demanding more
square of decapitations
place de revolution
where severed faces murmur
of days when blades turned blunt
