2020

2020 

Forgotten days

Taken by panhandlers of hyperbole

Fear sold by the crateload

To the unwary and insecure

Revolving paranoia

In increasing doses

Led by leaders of the self-proclaimed

Like frozen embryo

Suspended in liquid nitrogen

Forecasts of Armageddon

From a test tube

Written in the planets

Revealed to those who seek

And those who refuse to allow
