Rampant

 Rampant  1/23/2014

Tip this over

And see what’s inside

Because something is rotten

And it’s killing us all.

Overripe and overdone

Primed and pumped

Like a bulging volcano 

About to explode.

This is what you get

When everyone falls asleep

Letting evil slip in

One inch at a time.

We bought all the lies

And we took them to heart

Because that is what we were taught

Every minute and every day.

When it hits you

It will be a shock

Because reality is coming

Heavy and hard.

We are sold

And we are betrayed

But deep down

We always knew.

The truth was revealed

A thousand times a day

But even then

Many covered their eyes

And pretended not to care.

Like bystanders on the street

Who watch as others are beaten

Nervously looking at each other

Hoping someone else

Will intervene. 

But the wild beasts

Will never be full

And they always thirst for more

Be it flesh

Or blood.

Many are sacrificed

And many have fallen

Caught off guard

And unprotected.

Even they knew 

That they were marked 

But still they went 

Noble, good, and dead.

I remember them 

And I remember her

Those who hesitated 

And those who lost.  

Cowards are everywhere 

And all the lions are sleeping

Defanged and declawed 

Overfed, lazy 

Dumb and dead.  

Socially engineered 

And spiritually defeated

As we carefully follow

An artificial cool. 

You can close your eyes

Or you can keep them open 

Open them up 

And see.  

This is for the survivors

And this is for me 

Because I am a ghost 

Wild, rampant, and free.
