Pestilence

Where is pestilence in the world today? In everything you do. From pop-ups on computer screens to settings set for you. Where phone calls come from marketers to con you out of money. And flyers from your government to say all days are sunny. Where canvassers will knock at doors and rob you of your time. And calendars from politicians come payed for on your dime. Where law enforcement's quick to card and serve you of your rights: And store clerks offering help to you to interrupt your plights. The government who'll force a census and put you all to work. Recycle bins of trash you'll sort then rinse till you're berserk. The Tax Returns you'll do at cost and waste what's your's for time; the government skipping one assess could do to save a dime. The life that others force on you deciding all your fates. When all of your decisions mean that pestilence dictates.
