I Will Not
 
It is written
and I believe
that a new world order,
designed to deceive
will insist we all should wear a mark
to indicate we belong to the dark.

I do not, will not,
cannot, must not.

And so supply will be denied
of things on which I have relied.
Food, medication,
utilities, gas...
and so I die,
alack, alas.

Yet I fear not death
for death is release.
I would die for my faith;
my reward is peace...
ever after.
