Resist the Arresting Flavor of Lemons

Surveillance state and the art of cake

I believe in the power

of lemon juice and

powdered sugar

a healthy drizzle

draws the eye

even law enforcement

cannot deny

caught in the beam of

pound cake divine

🚨🍰🚨

mouth watering

mission faltering

proximity strengthens desire

for mama's lemon pound cake

🚨🍰🚨

beads of sweat

skin eject

wicked away by

blue cotton-poly-blend

🚨🍰🚨

corpulence maintained

when stomach bullies brain

on the witch hunt campaign

there's only weight

and exposure to gain

now the whole world knows

pigs are hungry for cake
