Fearmongers Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The fearmongers,
Are soliciting your attention.
They want you to feel uneasy,
And threatened.
Using this against you...
As their most powerful weapon.

To have you medicated,
Enduring sleepless nights.
To have you suspicous of your neighbor...
Black, brown, red or white.

They would like to whip you into a frenzy.
Cowering to your knees.
They would love to see you hypnotized!
And frightened of the thought,
Of losing your democracy!
You know...
The one they are stealing away from you?
As they have done the economy!

The fearmongers,
Are soliciting your attention.
They want you to feel uneasy,
And threatened.
Using this against you...
As their most powerful weapon.

They would like to whip you into a frenzy.
And doing the zombie dance!
They would love to see you hypnotized!
And paralyzed in a trance!
