Bureaucracy Vs Democracy

A monster now has been set free
   in this once land of liberty.
      This 'Frankenstein' divided us
         due to the Covid vaccine fuss.

Glib leaders 'round the table sit-
   like at a tea party, commit
      to brews concocted every day
         that keep their madness on display.

Vaxxed diss the unvaxxed for the spread
   who say the choice is theirs instead.
      Yet, now those jabbed can get sick too;
         such dark unknowns hide what to do.

Now masking is for everyone;
   the vaccinated thought they won.
      Again, each needs to hide their face
         as noteless beings in our space.

Divided families now fight-
   each side pleads other see the light.
      One side has faith in trial vax;
         the other, side-effects attacks.

This monster 'Frankenstein' digs deep
   into our hearts and minds to keep
      division strong till final test
         steals each free will as repossessed.

This freak is fierce, released from hell
   by leaders that now undersell
      the freedoms of democracy- 
         for bondage of bureaucracy.
