“
A Malignant State by Stewart Stafford
When oozing eyes of paranoia,
And the septic ears of hearsay,
Vomit hysteria up as atrocity,
The mad dog jackal has its day.
A demented warden's open prison,
Each dwelling house, a divided cell,
Community focus now second best,
Our loved ones, cats in the wishing well.
For your "security," a police state, gifted,
Humiliation's fires rage by a dry water spout,
A lawfare circus for their spoiler alerts,
Truth's spectral vessel a flood of doubt.
