Most people

Will not notice

When the world shifts

They'll be too busy

Watching sports

Watching soap-opera dramas

Watching fake news

About fake news

About fake news

Or just sleeping off

A drunk again

In the sweet stupid arms

Of their sad corner

Of the matrix


Most people

Will not notice

When the world shifts

Not at first, anyway


But something will happen

A glitch in their TV screen

A waver in their computer screen

The scream in the street

As the road rocks

To and fro

To and fro

And they will be

Shook awake

Or at least alert

And their dull comfortable complacency

Will bleed away

As they tremble like

Frightened rabbits

While the world kicks and bucks

To shake off man's evil
