BIG LIE – III

Working
words pouring out
No wonder –
The Big Lie
silencing suffocating
as in other parts of the world
more desperate or extreme
answers make themselves known.

Here –
outrage is a personal flaw
the Happy mean at all costs –
No wonder –
Oppressive
monstrous alienation.
Hear my voice –
I will speak.
