Cult of the Mask
The cult of the mask dictates:
That you must staple a facade to the face.
Or be chastised by the stink eye of the wolf pack.
However, get-togethers for "peaceful" rioting and looting are O.K.
The cult of the mask dictates:
If you vote red, you're to be harassed and attacked.
That all white police are racist and should be hunted down.
Effigies of Honest Abe are to be raped and defaced.
Murals of martyred thugs erected in his place.
The cult of the mask dictates:
Anything white is to be washed away or erased.
Placed in the urn of forgotten history.
That the United States must kneel to tyranny.
The cult of the mask dictates:
Diversity of thought is to be shackled, then slayed.
Put on public display and shamed.
The cult of the mask is a mask of hypocrisy.
