Captured by ideas that stick 
neither ethical or vindicated
like viruses infecting common sense 
thinking cell irrationality is replicated

the brain within its box
looks normal the body functions well
but the expression of what is right
is a sign of a parasite from hell

a social disease spreads rampantly 
there is low resistance in the body politic 
the social contract also
breaks down weak and apathetic

sovereign individuals like zombies
run on a contagion spree
clogging the arteries of justice 
demanding parking fines for free

not subject to common law
they insist on being allowed to dump
their obligations and responsibilities
in the first available sump

the red flags are a waving
the warning lights are on the wall
of democracy is the engraving 
once lost it will always be gone

I look at the sovereign citizens and wonder
where they come from
their sense of self righteousness and injustice
must be an infection gone wrong

just like a raging microorganism
they inflame and wear and tear
in delirium 
the very system that supports them 
without hesitation, clear thought or care
