peel back the mask

by Robert Filos / May 3rd, 2020

once woke
or so it seemed
the pill an apple
all is a dream
the prince a pedo
epstein a meme
nothing to fear
enact the quarantine
build the tower
so God can see
forget the wall
forced vaccine
wi-fry to track
your chip 5G
watch what you say
speech is not free
