covid-19

crown of thorns

corona
crown of sun
coronavirus
crown of sun god

new crown of thorns
angry at carbon plague
ra shakes head
​thorns fall
filling breath of man

men who do not die
cannot bear seed

chariots parked
giant birds cannot fly
vessels stranded
air and water cleansed
​
ra pledges
more thorns
until man repents

Event Horizon gravity drive

spiked orbs

event horizon
deepwater horizon
british production
british petroleum
deep space hell
deep ocean hell

coast guard patches
coast guard rescue

gravity drive oil slick
gravity drive spiked orb
bp logo spiked orb
​
promise of pain
for sins against sea
virus spiked orb

alien

​nurses in spacesuits
virus in your body
facehugger intubation
forced down your throat
no one can hear you scream

no choosing

riff on jefe
counselor to counselor

you are now at crossing
and you want to choose
but there is no 
choosing there
there is only accepting
the death to come

the choosing was done
a long time ago
when we chose freedom
over authority 
and let the virus 
run free

amazon

amazon stock raised
amazon razed
for livestock

lungs of earth
shriveled
like covid corpse​
​
all complicit
deserve as much
