There is a masked ball
That we all
Are invited to attend
On condition we amend
And suppress
Even depress
Our natural instincts
we were born with
By “buying into” the myth
That, wearing masks everywhere we go.
Will slow
Down the spread of disease
And so, will you please
Heed the call
And attend the ball
But only if you complete the task
Of social distancing and wearing a mask
Designed to deter
Being sick, but only if you stay a meter
Away from anyone resembling people
And become a part of the “sheeple”
The herd mentality
To bring about neutrality
And take us back to normal after a time
In the meantime, learn to mime
Your wants and needs
Only having a respite when you feed
Yourself and nourish your body
And after that, you don’t have to worry
Because they say if we listen, we will live
But isn’t that what we’ve been doing, so what gives?
The masked ball we have to attend
Will only end
When we receive a shot
Of goodness knows what
Concoction was mixed
To supposedly fix
Our bodies that weren’t broken
Not to worry, it’s a token
To show the powers that is in charge
Just how people at large
Could be manipulated to understand,
That there is nothing underhand
About the scare tactics used when we are asked
To shut up and obey by wearing a mask
As if we are attending a dance
A dance to give us a chance
To live life as we did before 2020
When we used to have plenty
Of freedom and air
The years before the big scare
Where attendance to masked balls was a choice we made
Charity events where we paid
Money for a good cause
Now emergency laws
Are put in place for us all
Where we, reluctantly, with a cloth around our faces, have to attend THEIR mask ball.
