Binary Shackles
by feeling
sublimated to anger
condensed to depression
the over-achiever
turns to control
alt-delete
the accumulator
sells sensory stimulus
instigates
stone-throwing
frenzy
shields his manipulation
with fact-checked
misinformation
spreads quiet oppression
with the threat of viral infection
eventually even
the most famished
arrives at satiation
desensitization to taste
resistance to fear titillation
immune
to trojans
bearing empty
virtue offerings
the audience
develops a hunger
for that which defies
packaging and obsoletion
the consumer
becomes a creator
imagines
multiple realities
throws off
binary shackles

A river cannot be controlled forever
The more control sought
The more dams built
The more homes destroyed
The more beings displaced
Eventually the river reclaims its land
From dams to cutting rocky shards
To smooth beach pebbles … to sand
From river bank to watery dark bed
Tie yourself to a dam; get swept away
Allow the river to choose its own banks
From sand to silt, desert to garden
Play upon its shore
Love the river for what it gives freely

Oh and this just in ... yep once again the conspiracy theorists were correct. IT ESCAPED FROM A LAB and was more likely GAIN OF FUNCTION.
It is the opinion of Committee Minority Staff, based on the preponderance of available
information; the documented efforts to obfuscate, hide, and destroy evidence; and the lack of
physical evidence to the contrary; that SARS-CoV-2 was accidentally released from a Wuhan
Institute of Virology laboratory sometime prior to September 12, 2019. The virus, which may
be natural in origin or the result of genetic manipulation, was likely collected in the identified
cave in Yunnan province, PRC, sometime between 2012 and 2015. Its release was due to poor
lab safety standards and practices, exacerbated by dangerous gain-of-function research being
conducted at inadequate biosafety levels, including BSL-2. The virus was then spread
throughout central Wuhan, likely via the Wuhan Metro, in the weeks prior to the Military
World Games. Those games became an international vector, spreading the virus to multiple
continents around the world.
