The Quarantine Chronicles, Day 46

DAY 46: Human sacrifices -- oh, how

primitive! Those ancients were

savage, horrible, bowing down to idols.

2-3% of the population already

marked with indelible ink, they tell us 
today, they being the 1% we chose as 
leaders, capitalists, makers of money, not

work not creation not humble goodness --

they got their pile, their pile so high

it looks like Mount Everest in the clouds 
in the sky and now the payment

is due -- 2-3% will die 

to reopen factories and malls

burger kings and bowling alleys
poodle clippers and porn shops --

we gladly kill the chosen

the elders, the weak, the kids

the strong, the famous, the

parents of the future parentless

generation -- we sacrifice another

2-3% for GOD DOLLAR
          Booga booga!

to get our money machine 

running again to pull those

levers and chains, on the

chain gang, to push the worker-

slaves with cattle prods back

to pumping gold-red plasma

into the Masters' arms -- we

have chosen, sad as it is, money

sass talks, life is cheap, religion

trumped by true religion,
order trumped by first order --

let's go then! let's start killing!
