Whispers from the dark web
Amorphous banter and illegal conspiracy theories
Rumors of The One
And when he came
The Devil didn’t bother with a disguise
Grotesquely malformed
Verbiage bubbled up from the ageless tar pits
-BLAAP- Pap Pap
Squalid stench and a guttural torrent
of obsessive vocal violence
And we lapped it up like dogs reasoning
that our paychecks were more important
than our friend’s freedoms.
The great philosopher pundits and their premonitions
have fallen short - succumbed to the buoyant gurgle
A great wave of bile and burp
Are we forever swallowed and endlessly churned?
Demonically changed?
Every 4 years a descent down a blind
spiral staircase
Alarm siren screaming in the dark?
From the weeny pulpit
Wrenching fleeing CEO’s into tight-veined,
muscular headlocks
Rescuing the livelihoods of the disused,
While diversity, our greatest strength,
is threatened and flippantly disregarded
You are gonna zig from samaritan to charlatan
We are going to love each other anyways.
