Notes About The Poem

from a soul's point of view 

The Red Flag Has Been Hoisted

Why does the sheep follow the wolf to hell
in this bat soup they all want a taste of communism
let's stick the needle into your arms and take control 
When the train pulls up the track people are queuing for hours 
they chant songs of freedom thinking they are safe 
there is no cure for such blind arrogance 
dangling the strings many carrots become attached 
It's like fishing with an invisible bait called the cure 
this virus is just the beginning shape shifting into darkness 
lucky for some there is light at the end of this tunnel 
Because when certain laws are passed in times of chaos 
within those that are in breach of democracy  
the fool will be caught in the wool like a tick 
a creature of habit always craves innocent blood
