Bread and Circuses
written by: Steve Green
We came not for the show
but the bloody spectacle
of our existence dissolution
Nasty beasts were released
to assist the thought police
in canceling all contrarian dissent
In fact anyone deemed different
of appearance or opinion
were labeled as threats
and caught in the net
of state sanctioned repression
Once the complicit population
shaken from former indifference
was worked into a sufficient frenzy
our extinction ticket was punched
Even the predators of this feast know
the blood thirsty spectators
cheering on today’s carnage
will soon enough
be their squealing lunch
“Quod severis metes”
Former interactive human being. Now just watching the wheels go round and round while trying not to repeat my mistakes. I have all new ones.
