Dead by Morning II
(Dead by Morning, 3/13/20 explained what will happen.  This is the followup.)

I’m no prophet…
  I just pay attention…
    so cough it…

What say you? Ah choo? Who?
   The masks didn't, the way they say, work, smirk.  Excuse you? Proven.
      The distances didn't, the way they say, work, smirk. Excuse you? Proven.
            The doses didn't, the way they say, work, smirk.  Excuse you? Proven.
                  People are now dy'n, ly'n? Excuse you. To be proven.

I said all that, before it was popular, fashionar
   Look! I can make things up too. Excuse you. Proven.

And what about the elections... corrections?  You won't prove that! 
   We proved that, you rat!  Proven.
      And now repeated... proven.

And look now, Russian Collusion, a purchased illusion.  
   You won’t talk about that! Proven.

Keep them in power... as the masses cower... and their followers flower... 
   did we not live that... and ended that, in 1945?
      No... no... no... Socialism is still alive, it's alive, it's alive!!! 
         like some Frankenstein's monster.

Marx and Engels cannot declare a victory for the proletariat... 
   now that the U.S.S.R. died.

But the socialists... the Bourgeoisie,
   in power, now feel the proletariat's pain... you'll see... 
They'll create a new social disorder, to rule that too, just as the U.S.S.R. lied.

Hah!  Marx and Engels can now smirk, jerk.  Excuse you?  Proven.
   Give it time, they laugh from their grave… give it time.

Don't fear the virus. Fear the infected.

'Infectious' laughter: Man arrested for joking about COVID
'They decided to come with guns drawn, handcuff me and take me to jail'
By Bob Unruh, of WND, Published November 13, 2022 at 1:39pm

A Louisiana man fought in court for the First Amendment right to express COVID-19 satire, after arrested by armed SWAT team with guns drawn.

He posted a joke online comparing COVID-19 pandemic to a zombie apocalypse, & his Facebook friends all got the comedy.
The post references Brad Pitt zombie movie "World War Z."
His joke was that the sheriff's officers had been ordered to shoot the "infected." Waylon was taken to jail and booked, but the absurd charge was dropped. To add insult to injury, the court also said that Waylon didn’t have any free speech rights to make a joke in the first place. An appeal is being made which defends 1'st Amndmnt rights & challenges immunity doctrines nationwide.
