Beads and Bugs

This plague is real-for sure
where it came from
(CHINA)-is undeniable...
but was the little devil
birthed by a bigger devil
did it slip away from a Wuhan lab
or explode from a wet market bat...

truth is a rose-
evil is a stink bug
and something sure stinks and we know it

The undercurrent is that
trillions are being made off global misery
so there's no great hurry to end this Wuhan fling
freedoms are being gleaned one by one
in the name of public safety
this travesty will conclude
only when its politically beneficial to do so

So, a very few think they have power over so many
this is the grandest of illusions 
but the masses have been put into a trance
by a pendulum of fear-lies and half truths
spun from the fabric of a stinky red bug
an endless misery prolonged by greed
fueled by power drunk politicians
who are using us like snot rags

Yeah this plague is real
but we're being played by the elite
they're still partying in big clusters without masks
they're still filling planes 
jet setting from here to there
even illegal aliens aren't forced to wear masks
get vaccinated as they stream
across our porous southern donkey border
then shipped in the middle of the night
to wherever they want to go
..and no talk of super spreader even from the left

you can bet the lives of the rich haven't been put on hold
like the rest of us
BUT maybe the real reason why 
we're still being forced to wear these
           Mardi Gras masks
(even after we've been vaccinated
even after those that make the rules
are not following the rules themselves)
is because there's a whole lotta chit raining down
and the elite don't want us to smell it.

now toss me some beads for exposing the throbbing truth
