coming events
The old men are in big trouble now
With their weaker immune responses than the women
With their higher rates of smoking
With their failure to wash their hands regularly.
We can see it coming without knowing exactly what will happen
The pandemic that will overwhelm containment
The ineffective Trump government cronies in denial
The incapable profit driven hospitals already running at capacity.
After all the criticism heaped on China these past months
Where the emergency is being brought under control
The full extent of the disaster here will shake the foundations
Calling into question the capitalist system that failed us.
After all this time to prepare the official test kits don't work
And no one is allowed to use any alternatives that do
While the pretender-in-chief talks vaccines playing us for fools
The idea that it will all go away in spring is his best hope.
So many old white men who cheer in support of the racist grifter gang
About to be swept into the dustbin of history sooner than they expected
Though the evangelicals won't attribute it to a vengeful God
Still they will be taken aback at the sudden turn of events.
Impossible to imagine such an upheaval will happen
Except when a desperate need for solutions demands it
A matter of life and death in the face a bankrupt system
Such a vision of radical transformation seen by this old man.
