'Twas The Night Before America Fell by John Scotto


'Twas the night before December 25th, an ominous silence swept through every town and every abandoned house,
Individual freedom and liberty now completely shunned and forever doused,
People in a state of confusion and no longer willing to care,
Within a state of delusion, each person left with nothing but despair,


Leftist indoctrination dancing through children's heads,
Marxist propaganda within the media being spoon-fed,
And my AI companion in its kerchief, and I donning my virtual reality headphones now replacing my cap,
Sane people finally realizing Biden and his fellow leftists were all full of crap,


While watching my computer screen I listened to the chatter,
I wondered why my individual existence no longer mattered,
Dreaming of the past when people were allowed to use cash,
A time when people were free and where economies didn't constantly crash,


The moon was still out there but no longer glowed,
The freedom of thought unable to flow,
Every house under surveillance, people existing like zombies within perpetual chaos and fear,
Nothing made sense, but the reality of tyranny remained painfully clear,


Thinking back and recalling that the leftist globalists used every trick,
Freedom had vanished in an instant, it happened so quick,
The masses now within their virtual prisons, easily tamed,
No longer able to make personal decisions, their own willful ignorance to blame,


Now onward Obama, Biden, Soros, Fauci, Schwab and Gates, the radical leftist miscreants with no vision,
On Communism, on Globalism, on Socialism and racial division,
Reaching the bottom of hell, people huddled behind the closing walls,
Unable to escape like frightened sheep and pigs within their muddy stalls,

A world now engrossed within tears and empty sighs,
People forgetting the past America, a time when the eagle soared high,
Younger people buying into the age of convenience, they simply don't have a clue,
The remaining citizens left to ponder about the free America they once knew,


And then I heard a beep, an email coming through,
Another spam message, it's the junk mail I rue,
As I clicked my mouse and looked all around,
Coming to the sobering realization that America was no longer free but now forever bound,

People in a panic, within a constant nervous stir, fascism was afoot,
Most content to avoid evil, however now knowing America's goose was finally cooked,
Common sense, critical thinking and the use of logic is what most people today currently lack,
Existing within a leftist illusion, a rigged deck which always seemed to be stacked,


People's eyes no longer twinkled, life was no longer merry!
Existing like zombies, always busy and in a hurry,
Civilization had reached a new low,
Everything remaining stagnant and unable to grow,


No more Christmas songs or the hanging of wreaths,
Hell unleashed upon earth, God hearing many people gnawing and gnashing their teeth,
Looking for food but left with empty bellies,
Not a steak or hamburger to be found, not even one can of grape jelly,


Almost all the cupboards were bare, nothing left on the shelf,
Why did we let the climate cultists get their way I thought to myself,
Many people homeless and left within poverty, the middle class in the red,
People's finances, liberty, personal privacy and freedom being bled,


Machines, illegal aliens, government goodies and universal income replacing the humans who no longer desire to work,
All made possible by the leftist globalists, a real bunch of arrogant jerks,
Artificial intelligence and computer algorithms now a substitute for human prose,
The window to remain free now forever closed,


An America left without Christmas, people filled with regret and the “sound” of empty whistles,
People worrying bout EMP bombs and or supersonic nuclear missiles,
The one final thought I had before the end of the night,
Why didn't we listen, why didn't we fight, why didn't we maintain the precious freedom which has now vanished forever from our sight?
"The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.”
