What holds us together
has been torn, the unity
of a people split apart.
Both poles have lost
their grip and rupture
into division.
Categories now proliferate
and place each soul
into a labeled box governed
by the ideologue.
Word by word, language
has been commandeered by fear
and threatened with shame.
Good words are put on trial,
stripped of meaning and sentenced
to silence. They sleep in old books
sought out by the apparatchiks
for removal or to be replaced
by neutered covers.
Soon Macbeth will be lobotomized
to reduce the risk of upset.
The grand order has gone mad.
Long lines of citizenry queue
for entry into asylums
now spreading
like shopping malls.
Others won't leave home
and ossify in the safety
of their shuttered rooms.
Meanwhile, to the chants
of a sterilized song,
children skip towards
glittering castles hanging
precariously in thin air,
proud parents happily
clapping them along.

Say the following things about
a certain leader...:
If this leader were to govern
the sea... the sea would dry up....
If this blessed one were to rule
the Sahara desert, the desert
soon, soon, it would run out of sand...
If this chosen were to rule
Heaven... God would change Heaven's place...
If this ideologue were to rule
hell, the devil would cast him out
from there... with his trident. and the devil
would say:
GO RETRO SATANAS!
Ps
I heard some say about Eastern europe

Only God Has The Answer
Written: by Miracle Man
December 3 2020
I await this pandemic’s tide to ebb,
or awake to find another story feigned.
I’m caught in a world wide spider web,
My life, if lost, means Heaven gained.
As our forecast darkens, opinions vary,
an aging political figure arrives void of flare.
Another Ideologue who makes many wary,
promising relief from fear and despair?
As clock pushes us from present to tomorrow,
like a taper’s wick our days reduce in number.
Quarantined by fear in life’s afterglow,
causing many to dream of eternal slumber.
