dancing with my scythe

 i trace my bones
in the dirt 

nurture this
growing void

darkness
is the only thing
that doesn't lie

the world is running
away 
pretending
that confusion
is an acceptable
answer
to the death of
humanity

Vermont has given up
on contract tracing in
the schools

my daughter
is still believing
in this bullshit reality
that is told to her
by everyone but me

i know where this is 
going

where have you been
my friend?

i am right here
dancing with my scythe
you can see me
so i spare you

each day is a gamble
each day i wrap myself
in the dark unknown
 i already know
the future
kneeling on broken glass
sharp stars in my eyes

in the dark 
i offer my tears

gonna get drunk
and dance with the 
minotaur that hangs out
in the basement of my mind

we will watch the end of 
the world together
his whispers smell like
black licorice

his horns feel like
my favorite stuffed animal
from childhood

illusions can be comforting
in the end we are all just
sacrifices

for the economy
that can't exist 
without us

Clearly the severity of the latest Covid outbreak is being minimized on the news to keep the economy going at the expense of public health. Those who do not have wisdom separate from mainstream news are being sacrificed for the “good” of the economy. This economy that only benefits those elite up top at everybody’s expense. Those who are quitting their jobs are realizing that their work does not benefit themselves and it is not worth getting out of bed for the job. The job quitters are the woke people realizing that their work only benefits their master.
Of course they would not close schools. It is more important to brainwash children with hogwash than to keep them safe. But in the end what good is working at a worthless job and getting a worthless education if you and your kids will die sooner. In order to send a message to those in charge it is best to quit working and pull kids out of school. That way no taxes will be collected and no brainwashing will be accomplished. The end result will be a collapse of this corrupt government and system.
