Les is More - Spoken Word Performance: Season 3 Episode 6

“Les is More”

We gotta keep it six feet,
no less than,
Laying down yellow walls
like Les Nessman.
Don’t see the force field
you got in your face?
Pull up before you crash
into that social race.
The desire to be free,
to do as you freely desire.
To choke out the curve,
and try to quench the fire.
Of the invisible enemy,
that could be living in you.
So hardcore, it’s path
in life burning the avenue,
Intertwine, transfer, and then
move on to propagate,
On the surface of the skin
of those it will subjugate.
It’s got allies we grown inside,
greed, fear, and hate
Leading the charge for
people to degenerate
Into hoarders, and frightened
ones that will acerbate
the shortages, and keep
the rumor mill grinding
Down the goodwill of society
until there’s no finding
A speck of hope, amongst
the virus fallen count
How do you stand and fight
when you can’t even mount
A defense against denial,
lies form a spear wall
Moving forward against us
until we get sick and fall
For the platitudes and
outright misinformation
That leaves the lips
of the leaders of this nation
In false honesty, upon
the masses open ears
That perk up, as
the hidden money appears
That is gifted to corporations,
but Indian given to the rest
It’s all a mirage, truth,
as rare as a Covid19 test.
