Better Times Than These

Welcome to the Great Reset,
where truth is a conspiracy theory
and lies can not be challenged.

The World Economic Forum says,
“You will own nothing and you will be happy.”
You’ll get the first part of that.
You’ll die waiting for the second,
while you watch old certainties become ghosts
as the long dismal slide into tyranny
gathers momentum toward the point of no return.

Trust the experts.
Follow the approved science.
Comply with all mandates.
Cancel any who dissent.
Wear the mask of fear.
Line up for your vaccines.
Embrace your subjugation.
Mind your social credit score.

As chaos is engineered,
as fault lines break open,
as terror rises and the future turns dark,
as the expendables are herded to their fate,
take a moment to recall
days when we knew and failed to appreciate
better times than these.
