Certain decisions online are very dangerous and deadly - a poem.
An authoritarian dictator attempts
To ensnare a generation
In his lethal clutches -
Seeking elevated global power
Through an anti-democratic vision;
Foraging through deathly slopes to overcome
The functional vitality and sovereignty
Of a nation…

Protect yourself,
And your friends and family…
Portray your intentions
With a boisterous, friendly calm;
Quiet that horrific urge…
Save a kind and knowing seat at the table
For some gracious hosts
Who have your excellent interests at heart,
Not a totalitarian regime!

Demonic enemies knowingly
Impose a malicious scope
And version of reality -
In the guise of disingenuous transformation -

The psychological disparagement
Permeates those ostensible victories
Of vaporous ignominy…
Violating the freedom and liberty
Of customary hope…
Highlighting the crusade
For appropriate clarity…
