We sold our masks at markup way before this thing began.<\/p>\n

And then we started companies to make them back again.<\/div>\n
And now we’re selling cure-all pills and stories without oranges,<\/div>\n
all backed up by stacked judges, FOX and Republicanosauruses.<\/div>\n
Election’s all but cancelled and the roving gangs assemble.<\/div>\n
It’s enough to make an old man cry and children tremble.<\/div>\n
Disassembled premises are being hacked together,<\/div>\n
thrown out like mere test balloons upon the public weather.<\/div>\n
Somewhere there’s a castle below ground where they’ll be hiding,<\/div>\n
watching as their public disavows all law abiding.<\/div>\n
Guns and fools will be the rules, a game show they will tout.<\/div>\n
A lot like fake Survivor but with lots more blood about.<\/div>\n
Gun sales and the stock market have just begun their thriving.<\/div>\n
Melt your pots and pans to shields if you’ve hope of surviving.<\/div>\n
When this is through, the dead man stew is going to fill a lake.<\/div>\n
Deep underground in their compound, they’ll do the secret shake.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
