Dilution

The Formula

Overspent, overloaded

And heavily indebted

All to a future

That no one can pay.

We are a prostrate patient

With tubes going in

And tubes coming out

Weakened by burdens

We never asked to assume.

But the poison comes anyway

Injected directly into our veins

Designed to overwhelm

And suppress.

The final dilution is here

And it should come

As no surprise

Because this also was foreseen

Many centuries before.

We forget,

And we do not listen

As we whistle past the graveyard

On our way to the end. 

Unwilling to confront

And afraid of fools

Who have long bullied

With lies

And persecution. 

But even our life support

Shall be rationed

And denied

All because of hatred

And imaginary privilege.

Welcome to the end

So come, sit down and watch

As it all comes unraveled

And kills on cue. 

Go ahead and lie

And go ahead and argue

But this ship was built to sink

And that is what they wanted. 

Diluted and disenfranchised

We are betrayed by our own

As the needle sinks in

And the plunger goes down.

Dead by a thousand cuts

Added up over time

As we are waited out

Until we are weak

And few. 

All for nothing

But a promise

That’s already been broken

A thousand times before. 

If they will do it to one

They will do it to many

As we swallow it all

And become what we fear. 

The horror unfolds

But who can see the reasons

As obvious as the sun

Burning in the sky. 

We each have a part

And we each have a soul

As I pray for protection

And provision.

There is nothing I have

That cannot be lost

But if we can survive

Then, that is all that matters. 

Evil is changeless

And smiles only,

To buy time

Regrouping every night

To murder, rape and steal. 

Wait not

To lay on a table

But rather act now

No matter what is lost. 

God restores

And God heals

Giving us back

More than enough. 

He will multiply the good

Even against, impossible odds

And the greatest victory

Shall go to the faithful

Who have given their all 

Without hesitation.
