A Fly On the Wall

Obnoxious and undiscerning 
Teeming with power, devoid of meaning 
intelligent-passing and ethical-seeming

‘Our only choice for defeating evil is taking away your choice for Good.’
Good with slogans
Good with words
Misconstrued, misused, misheard

As their reverberant declarations overtake stifled, dying cries
I mumble into the abyss
And regurgitate the whispers of the night 
And I remain, 
the fly on the wall
