Are we in the eye of a storm right now?
Is this the calm deceit I’ve heard about?
Between last week and next we teem with doubt.

It’s obvious that thousands don’t know how
to do more than assert, assault and shout.
Are we in the eye of a storm right now?
Is this the calm deceit I’ve heard about?

Although the cowards pause their sick kowtow,
stupidity makes ignorance devout.
The lies spread virus-fast and fact-without.
Are we in the eye of a storm right now?
Is this the calm deceit I’ve heard about?
Between last week and next we teem with doubt.

(English Madrigal)
