Don’t Tell Me What To Fear
_____________________________________
Tell me what I should fear
Distract me with signage
While the real danger sits
Beneath it unlabeled
The dangerous culprit
*
Tell me what I should fear
Distract me with dumb tweets
And real fake news headlines
Ignore the authentic
Tightrope walk those fine lines
*
Tell me what I should fear
So I don’t have to think
I’ll just read and surmise
You’ve told me all I need
To make it to sunrise
*
Tell me what I should fear
I won’t think for myself
Like a lemming I’ll wait
For your next instruction
Free will I’ll abdicate.
