I Hear He's a Winner

'The Bearer of Bad News' All around you lay The sick and the dying, Calling out for help While you go on denying Unmasking legions Misleading crowds, Basically handing them Their own death shrouds You are no authority You are no physician, Just a man abusing His mighty position Responsible for those The pandemic did kill, All the while denying And doing it still No more ears listen to The bearer of bad news, I wouldn't want to be The wearer of your shoes.
