Tempest

Salutations  
from  
a  
world  
controlled  
by fear  
Time to adjust  
the tempest  
before  
docility  
disappears  
 
I misuse  
the  
guidelines  
for more  
experimental views  
I’m the one  
who begs  
for  
freedom  
while the rest  
are  
being used  
 
While they’re subservient,  
malevolent,  
obsessed  
with  
faded time,  
the  
establishment  
Is committing  
the most  
reprehensible  
of crime  
 
I stand my ground  
for another round  
of cabalistic threats  
While the  
populous submits to this  
The state has  
no regrets  
 
The media  
feeds  
a  
frenzy  
and people  
run for their lives  
But when  
the masses  
lose  
everything  
The government thrives  
 
While I want  
to  
push back  
They make  
me retract  
But how  
should  
we  
act  
taking fiction  
as fact  
 
Marionettes  
hope for the best  
and cut  
the  
puppet strings  
Hold to account  
what  
little  
amount  
of acumen  
you still bring
