Look at the fascists in their red hat uniform worn here today
Who tout their Make America Great Again nostalgia slogan
Trying to hold onto white protestant male hetero supremacy rule
Imposed through racist sexist violence legal and extralegal.
The pandemic is coming to get them
Unmasking their attempts to deny the obvious truth
When socialism succeeds by following science for all to see
They have made America First in deaths.
The surge once meant sending a swarm of soldiers
To subjugate a population resisting occupation
And success meant staving off the inevitable defeat
As endless war eventually leads empires to collapse.
Now the surge means the spread of infections
Attacking more rampantly in the most capitalist places
Attacking most viciously where right wing politicians rule
Threatening the total disintegration of society.
When healthcare is denied for so many
When so many workers don't have sick leave
When profits come before people
This pandemic rages out of control.
The surge of people in the streets protesting police brutality
Protesting against the entire system of white supremacy
Takes on a special urgency in a time of pandemic
When all of our lives are at stake.
The imperative of unbridled capitalism
Forces millions of people to risk their lives
Or go hungry and homeless
Or fight like hell to throw them out.
