Darkness Before The Storm

 
Doubts and paranoia swarmed the city
darker than cumulus clouds, hovering...
just waiting to be triggered
into a perfect storm!
Dark secrets: secrets within a secret
instilled in our minds
sow doubt and paranoia,
until ingrained in our hearts.

When can we get away from being sucked
into this Orwellian habit of government
treating us like mushrooms?
After being kept in the dark
for so long, and fed with bullshit--
don't we deserve to see the light?

While waiting for the perfect storm,
blood sucking leeches continue
to prey upon lust and greed
of the mighty and powerful,
singing in sync
with political whores
on the road to riches.

We don't know what tomorrow may bring
because the dark clouds are still looming
like the dark secrets, yet to be unclassified
after unauthorized leaks--clarified
Our cherished liberties are in a tip-off,
slowly losing ground to national security,
yet we are told domestic spying -
"a modest encroachment on privacy!"
