from this week in 2010 (I was 66)
I know people are afraid to speak
about the unspeakable and unmentionable
knowing it will put them on a list
that will impede or even restrict travel
To question makes them sympathizers
to associate makes them guilty
vulnerable to detachment
and government claims that they are one of them
or at least complicit dupes
Even to research or inquire rouses suspicion
It’s McCarthyism without a name
Categories of lists intersect electronically
I know people who won’t vote
afraid to mention suspected impropriety
places them on another list waiting to be counted
The government is only Little Brother
Secret Agencies Corporate Entities
International Banking Privatized Armies
Mythical Job Markets employing from lists
buy educated employees with pennies and threats
A class kept in poverty as a buffer
from the starving class they will be required to eradicate
While those whose job it is to deflect taxes
Wiki-leak their open admiration
for the Smartest Men In The Enron Room
whose only mistake was getting on a list
