VE Day 2020 - A Poem By Laurel Biffa

VE DAY 2020
by Laurel Biffa
With a cough and a sneeze,
Liberty falls to it’s knees.
1984, knocking on the door,
Keeping your distance is the new law.
Refuse to be tested?
You might get arrested.
Tracking and tracing,
Invisible chains.
The deep state behind you is pulling the reigns.
A shepherd is herding us into the flames,
Welcome to the new normal.
It’s called The Hunger Games.
People masked in medical disguise,
Fear burning in their eyes.
Brainwashed sheep queuing in silence,
I sit and watch the voiceless violence.
They say it’s a flu from Chinese bats,
So follow The Piper like helpless rats.
A wall of fire to burn “Fake News”
Setting alight alternative views.
Ghostly bells on VE Day ringing,
Eternal heroes, their spirit singing;
“We fought for you, we died for you,
so you could live today.
Now shout from the roof,
spread the truth,
don’t give it all away!”
