Whip Laughs
Because of the flu
They...(the they)
suffocated the entire world.
They inflated the death numbers
covered our faces
made us inhale our sins
over and over again
(The they)
promoted rioting but shut down churches
made us afraid of our own skin
6 billion people kept in line by a few
(The tiny ringmaster controlling the 500 lb. tiger
with mental whips).
but the tiger grows wise
He'll soon come off his polka dot circus stool
and don his stripes.
and have a mighty swipe
and save the whip for laughs.
