The power balance shifted
And Suddenly the cdc said we were free to scurry back to normalcy, and all the bans were lifted
All the masks were thrown into a dumpster full of body bags like we were out to sea, and had a captain always screaming “LAND!!!”, no matter how far out we’d drifted.

No matter how far down you kept your head, you would be plucked from out the crowd, and you’d be scanned and sifted

You’d be human contraband they smuggled off of private land to 20 years unlawfully detained to waste away beneath a federal prison diet plan

You’ll accept a brand made of the bloodshed of your fellow man, and think that you’re still free because they let you pick the hand and let YOU dip it in.

I used to think they looked at us like dividends
Now I think they see us more like fees, and they think feeding us amounts to breeding fleas, so our humanity is fading in their dissonance

If Trump was ever right it’s when he said we had no innocence.

And, incidentally, also when he cut the cost of insulin.

We reached the Oval Office for a comment and they emailed back a geosat photo of our office with a target on it, reading:
“Please confirm this as the site where you would like the special forces to arrive to try and beat out a denouncement of your insolence.”

“And mace you in the face each time you cry or try to choke out claims of innocence”

Now, aren’t you glad you voted blue to insulate your ignorance?

When censorship was rushing past, you offered gas and asked if you could push the pedals

Suddenly, when all of the election dust has settled, you’ve been gassed and kettled, only now you start to see there’s very little difference, and what difference there is, is clearly not how you’d envisioned it.

Like When Biden said he lied and that a hundred thousand immigrants were limited.

Kept the limit Trump had implemented that we said was unamerican and hideous

Suddenly it’s standard foreign policy and Joe’s equipped with all we need cause he’s so up-to-speed and so fastidious

And that’s the line the news will try to sell,
and you can tell they think we’re really that oblivious.

Because clearly, we were really that oblivious.

Clearly we accepted lesser stimulus like idiots like we think our requests to live with dignity
should really all be leveled at our leaders in the form of something pleading, something poor,
or something piteous.

Like it’s not enough they worked you to the floor,
paying you a wage that spit directly in your face and through your pores,
directly to the source of your meridians

Til all of the valerian on what remains of earth cannot return your cursed worth from something burnt into the dirt to something blooming and viridian

Only then, you’ll start to see there’s very little difference,
and the difference there is,
I warned you of for 90 minutes that I bled into the sonic, til the every word stood Onyx and Obsidian in its intent and Rigor-fucking-Mortis in conviction.

I delivered it with pops and hiss and honest spit and honest tears and honest smears of politicians

Who are honestly more evil than you’ll ever find in all your fiction

And I honestly don’t need your validation for my malediction

And I honestly could feed on all my hate until i’m spirited away it’s such a raw nutrition

Organic in display like it was something Tesla-Made, with a solar-photosynthesis array
A CIA plant that withstands brutal heat as well as temperatures of 45 beneath, and does not wither til it carries out its final mission.

Realistically Organically decayed among the graves of all who saw the vision i depicted.

That waits around the corner like the single mom we just evicted.

Who put her faith in Biden and was shocked to find him walking every promise back across the profit picket line, til homeless shelter funds were tight, resources for stable spots to sleep at night were nowhere she could seem to find which puzzles her since hers is but a nightmare widely shared, and all too easily predicted.

Only now, she’ll start to see, there’s very little difference,
And the difference that there is is clearly not what she’d envisioned.
