Food & Drinks to Rats & Finks

N.D.Y. Romanfort

All you citizens recently freed!
Open your ears, prepare to take heed!
There’s something going on where you feed!

Two-legg’d rodents have seized
the cherished eateries.
For these rats of great size
Mere food scraps aren’t the prize.
Data is apropos;
Names and contact info,
when you ate, where you sat,
all gathered by the rats
to reduce state errors
tracking covid bearers ―
(government surveillance
prescribed to quell ailments).

Thus, the grand political supreme,
under the guise of public health themes,
enable their ulterior schemes.
