Episode 15: Pumps Hummed, Voices Prayed

(Immersive Verse)

Intro

Can’t see the forest for the trees.

A nation nobbled to its knees.

Our civilization on the skids.

What will we tell the kids?

1

Bullies derided while innocents were hiding.

Teargas sprayed while limbs akimbo, splayed.

Pumps hummed and voices prayed,

Grown men groaned and hearty women wept.

A cacophony drone blended together and leapt

Through the roof, outside into the Epiphany sky.

Intro

Can’t see the forest for the trees.

A nation nobbled to its knees.

Our civilization on the skids.

What will we tell the kids?

2

A mob [pre-enraged] aggregated puppets to a stage

To hold at bay the turning of the page

And using weaponized old glories to induce

The seeing of stars, and to whip bloody stripes.

It unpacked whoop-ass: a full bouquet of pain.

With other flags waving God’s name in vain.

3

All the peacemakers called to order had been

Forsworn in order to hold the invisible line

Against any autocracy and any BIG LIE.

When suddenly, peacekeepers are spotted running

Through the glass; up and down the halls

Attempting, it seemed, to hold the visible keep.

Intro

Can’t see the forest for the trees.

A nation nobbled to its knees.

Our civilization on the skids.

What will we tell the kids?

4

That afternoon on the Feast of the Magi:

MAGA gathered outside to bring to bear their gifts of

Fool’s gold, cans of smoke; to spread bitter essence in

Chanting obscenities and seeming hell-bent on killing Jesus.
