it awakens
and spreads

a virus
finds the waves
in the air

and lets itself
be carried

into and out of
everything

calls on the
darkest resources

sleeping in the
heart of human souls

fear and anger
hatred

are only dormant
they can never die

people are the carriers
and the source

a single person can be
a carrier

but never the source

power needs
and needs and
needs

power is absolute
power needs
absolution

never grant it
hold it accountable

accountability is
the only antidote

that won’t let
the virus spread

that ends the
corruption

absolutely
