Editor’s Note: Here is the latest. I don’t know how you are doing- the farm is lively, since the animals don’t seem to notice anything except quiet roadways. Marlow is doing yeoman’s work in documenting the strange global outbreak that has affected us all. Management claims the installments will be gathered up as a book if this is ever over.

Commies Tell Lies

Here’s is Part XII of my Plague Chronicle Notes.

Yes, I remain perturbed about this.

中国说谎 – “China Lies” (recent street plaque art seen around Atlanta GA courtesy of Atlanta TV station CBS46.com)

If only they didn’t want the world
They wouldn’t have made us so sick
We’re sure their shame would pass upon apology
Were we too human, believing their lies?

If only they’d buried their power lust
And been human and a bit more just
If only they didn’t try stealing more and more
Were we just too human in adoring our sweet life so?

If only our condemned had been spared, there’d be no regret
Maybe had they told the truth, they wouldn’t feel so much guilt
Is it human to ask them for more?
Or were we too human in adoring our sweet life so?

We know evil when we see it
We know good and we just do it
If only they hadn’t tried stealing more and more
Were we just too human in adoring our sweet life so?

Why don’t they understand the urgency of life?
Even in the distance they refuse to see their untruth that cut us like a knife
Maybe I will die tomorrow so I need to say

We adore life
Commies tell lies

If only they hadn’t been so truth-shy
And hid every sin that caused so many to die
If only they didn’t cause so many to die
But Commies don’t care, they just tell lies

If only they had cared, just even a whit
We’d not feel our dead’s cold touch or be in this shit
Not even to be bedside when our dead leave us behind
Is it human to adore our sweet life so?

Why don’t they understand the urgency of life?
Even in the distance they refuse to see their untruth that cut us like a knife
Maybe I will die tomorrow so I need to say

We adore life
Commies tell lies

We adore life
Commies tell lies

Why don’t they adore life?
