State Ward of Mental Dissonance
Fabled puppet masters
residing in the shadows of the rafters
pull miss piggy's short curly strings
profiting capital amusement
capitol cameras roll as she strikes a war time payload pose
Audience caught in a pants down trance

of tattered commie rags
sparked by a retro wave of

clandestine black budget activities
and the usurping of placebo thrones –
Rabble infected with a wild virus
showing the lollygagging
flag waving
hate spraying symptoms
of herd poisoning
trigger fingers itching
waiting for the new world order
to come knocking
a military round up
the final culmination of ancient lore
Propaganda rising
