Pandora’s chest has been quarantined
The box is locked and contravened
Misinformation lay in between
The fragile sides within the box
Danger festers underneath the lid
It was never meant to be truly hid
Truth has never been more turbid
Truth should never be a paradox
Humanity spirals out of control
Violent tendencies out on parole
Sounds of screams are a death knoll
Common sense is no longer orthodox
Careening toward the distant end
On human kindness we can’t depend
The contents of the box distend
Please do not open
Please do not open

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
