The world’s turned into an amusement park,
With upside down rides and fun and games
The fun house mirror reflects a distorted reality,
Demons wearing angel’s clothing in human form
Pretending, transcending, twisting and bending,
Warping what used to be normal into grotesque
Carnival barker as president leading his sheep
Astray, down the rabbit hole to Alice’s realm
A void of unreality where all The Mad Hatters play
At being leaders instead of the followers they are
The Alpha Dog growls and glowers with fevered eyes
And the pack cowers, bow, and nod their heads
While all the while The Alpha Dog smiles,
Or the grimace that passes for one, “I am your King!’
“Animal Farm’ come true, with a pig in charge
Orwell knew and tried to warn us
