Gatekeeper
by Kris Janvier
You're responsible for those taken from us.
Invested billions to kill millions.
You funded the patents of the vaccines
for the pandemic you and your friends
prepared for a year before that time which
psychics, preachers and I guess
Nostadamus predicted it would be
"The End of the World" after 2012 failed,
but in that time, they were quite right
while we're under our crop dusted covers
with our eyes glued to the CNN ticker
where the semicolon separated
"DEATH COUNT" and a new number
on each update when we pick up our phones
every 5 minutes
while that incontinent
Leader of the Free World insisted on
taking hydroxychloroquine and bleach
whenever the press asked
if the vaccines would rollout.
Mr. Fauci's poker face
was leaking contempt like
a watermelon wrapped in
a thousand rubber bands wet from the juice
before it explodes.
While you plan on ways
to depopulate the poor like us,
our fingertips grazed the CRT
from the computer screens
and just like that, we were all touched
by your old diseased hands through our Windows
for years numbing our brains
with the bombardment of information
we can easily find, but not obliged
if we can't find any purpose from them.
Not a single pill was popped.
We were kids too and now we are all enslaved
and it all started with us
using Microsoft Word.
I wonder why that wasn't redacted...
