Announcing the commencement of the annual purge

                    normal day, so you thought.
               beating heart, mind rest.
               flashing news, the purge
this is not a test.

          every crime is now legal,

broken windows, wilted flowers.
                                  on october 31st—
                           survive for 12 hours.

           everything goes on lockdown,
           the news come flashing in,
           news reporters come to say;

the
                                  purge
           shall
                                now
                                              begin.

                              panic till you can't breathe,
             run,          run until you fall,
                              play a game of hide and seek;

may god be with you all.
