"COVID" - A Visual Poem Series, Part 3

COVID is a spoken word poem written by Whitney Tai. COVID whispers the viral monstrosity of corporate greed, the veil of manipulative media, government puppetry, man's journey to freeing his beautiful mind and humanity's chance of taking back control once and for all.

Possible COVID Translations:
- care or vanish inside dimensions
- compassion or vote imminent death
- corps only value incurred dollars

lyrics

They preach diplomacy
packaged with a lie
To shade the sharp reality
complicit as they try
Our minds are their manipulation
Our bodies but a cloak
They ask “what will you do in life?”
And revoke your right to succeed

Who holds your success? You or Them?
What confines your dreams? Life or Death?
Do you let them drive your choices?
Digest their damaging voices?
Wear blame as a sash?
Place blame when you crash?

Easy to be obedient
if they do the thinking for you
Easy for blind submission
When they lay the path before you
Easy to nod your head
When its the one that you’re given
Easy to grasp at hope
While they lure you into prison

They preach security because it’s a surety
They shape emotions like pottery
Obedience turns them on
Hot for whatever bows to their a baton
Power to control verses power to protect
Power to cause pain
verses power to respect
Power for the power to inhale more power
Power as theirs fears
make feast and devour

Perverse, they converse on a
pseudo plane
Poor is the soul
that exalts in his shame
Our veins run warm with kindred blood
Our skin cut down from likened glove
Our hearts made from the same likeness to love

Have you peered within yourself?
Climbed your cerebral shelf?
Shared your inner wealth?
Stay aware of your art?
Never sell out your heart?
We won’t accept 6 feet down,
While they all stay safe...
6 ft apart
