The forthcoming poem is about our fixation with fear which I might add is definitely here we're all living like mendicant monk our decadent cafe latte lifestyles are all but defunct , this virus that hangs about us like the prophecy of Macbeth creating a constant hysteria as though the new strain be a black death this damnable covid-19 has killed what was once our hedonistic dream and the political project of fear well thats forever bombarding into our ear, we've become farmed fish the human hen all crushed together into purgatory pen , pellet fed on popcorn and fet food courtesy of auntie Betties and uncle Ben the feeding of our multitude is by those four horsemen of the apocalypse they've just poisoned the sea of Galilee will the next five thousand fish be their new testament to you and me .
