Cup Cake Insurrection

Cup Cake Insurrection Evidence mounts as cup cakes bake in ovens Camouflaged in chocolate brown Revolutions start this way they say Secured, metallic ready in tin pans waiting 375 degrees transformed To something spongy to the touch Perhaps we are over thinking this too much Cup cakes are not the enemy, not out to get us No one ever died of deliciousness I trust Only a few pounds gained from wolfing down too many Rising up while baking is not an uprising or revolt I'm told They don't carry concealed weapons to my recollection Or topple monarchies or kill government officials… I think Topped with sugar icing, colorful sprinkles, innocent and happy Deep inside I suspect strange things are happening Cup cakes baked outside our country Come here with unknown ingredients Want citizenship with no visas It is hard to keep the peace with foreign recipes Cup cakes don't really understand our ways While baking in tin pans
