Conjured
Doomsday
Prognostication
Midway-esque
Statistical
Slight of hand
Splashing
Broad
Humourless
Blackened
Brushstrokes
Across
A
Canvas
That
Once
Reflected
Infinite possibility
Media
Political forces
Marketing
Propaganda
Speculation
Dressed as authority
Assumption
And blind conjecture
Collide
To
Offer
Nay insist
There be
One & only one
Finite
Response
All
Others
Need not apply
Unmitigated
Authoritarianism
Sold as
Altruism
Swallowed whole
By
The gaping maw
Of
A mass
Populace
Groomed
For unquestioned
Consumption
How
Diabolically
Ironic
To
Be poisoned
By
Lust
For the
Return
of the
Very (ab) Normalcy
That
Struck
You ill
To begin with
Convinced
To
The last
You
(the rest be damned)
Were to
Be saved
