Goggles



What if your goggles shaped your view
Take off your blinders and look anew
At the vista before you, the perspective it shapes
The windows obscured by the pull of the drapes

Infection is rampant from who knows where
Government response it seems not to care
Normal will change, consequences unfair
Confusion and disruption make such a good pair

What if the spread was designed this way
Creating upheaval, creating dismay
In such a time of confusion opportunities exist
As the masses despair shackled at the wrist

All must accept this created confusion
Few will escape  such destructive intrusion
Only the privileged will avoid such a cataclysmic disaster
Creating the new normal with ease and much faster

Do your goggles bring this view into clarity
Perhaps you despise bleeding hearts and charity
Maybe you feel that this evil must happen
To clean out the dirt using this diabolical weapon
