They Not Like Us
if i told you that the earth
was spinning faster than it used to
would you believe me?
if i told you your Gregorian Callender
was a prison would that
make sense? What is past tense
if Deja Vu is so omnipresent?
are you [wracked] by the Mandela Effect?
ask your {self}
are you tired of living in your head
but you know it's one few safe spaces you have left?
do you feel cornered?
cuz 2020 really did a number on us
does it feel like the Leviathan of America cloaked
us in a despotic paradigm shift?
it did
be courageous...do not gaslight your own eyeballs
and pretend you don't see what you see
disdain...distrust...despair...disgust....
the Seven Deadlies are certainly in a rush yes?
lust-obsession
pride-cognitive dissonance
wrath-genocide
vanity-narcissism
envy-possession
greed-poverty
gluttony-insatiable
the Horsemen are here
and they're not all men...maybe facsimiles
their acolytes are everywhere
slithering at every level of human activity
casting spells all over social media
They are here
to swing that prophesied pendulum
They understand the movement of Time way better than we do
so be careful of the covenant you consort
that's one of their favorite
hiding places
