He stood there on his balcony
And
looked like Mussolini,
But
ripped his mask off, like the chains
Encompassing
Houdini.
The
message that he thought he’d sent
Was
“Look at me – I’m healthy!”
(As
well as being powerful
And
popular and wealthy.)
Yet
that’s not how he was perceived
By
viewers ‘cross the nation
Who
watched in shock and horror
And
a deepening frustration.
We’re
fiddling with reality
And
we are scared and shaken,
Stuck
deep inside a nightmare
From
which we cannot awaken.
