Exile and Death

The price of decency in today’s world Is the same as it has always been: Your liberty or your life. If you give a moose a muffin After all Next you’ll have to invite them in For a glass of milk. And we all know how difficult it is To get a moose to leave your kitchen. And so it goes for the illegals Flooding the open borders Or the squatters trespassing Into empty homes Or the homeless and hapless Stealing and vandalizing with impunity. If you’re a decent person today The lawless will walk all over you. And those who enable and encourage Such lawlessness, remain protected Whilst whistleblowers of all stripes, From Julian Assange to Seth Rich, End up in exile or simply dead. There you have it. Exile and death. The future of human decency. (3/22/24)
