Poem Title:
Poem
Yes, the government was unprepared Brushed it off and didn’t care Dropped the ball, was slow to act They knew ahead and that’s a fact Had ample time to protect us all Ignored the warnings when China called Pandemic Blueprint and team, yes they were left for you You got rid of and didn’t implement, now unsure of what to do Most of what you’re facing, you brought upon yourself When things go wrong you quickly tend to blame on someone else It’s Obama’s fault, it’s China’s fault, it’s everyone but you But the facts and evidence of what they were saying Turned out to be so true It’s just 15 people, it’ll all go away That’s what you thought, that’s the words you would say “We have it under control,” but that wasn’t the case Now thousands are dying in front your face How could this be? The United States of America Yo grandmother died and you can’t even bury her The White House is not the Right House and is in total disarray So much chaos and confusion going on like everyday Mayors and governors left alone to figure it all out Bidding wars for ventilators, federal government wins no doubt Leadershi... or Leadership, I prefer the first I’ve seen a lot in my days, but this is just the worst The country is shut down, with nowhere else to go But to the hospital, order take out, or to the grocery store Businesses closed, for however long, God knows Millions unemployed, the economy’s a wreck People waiting nearly 2 months for one stimulus check This is unacceptable, no excuses needed Hospitals overcrowded, people not able to be treated Doctors overworked, tired and scared They are worn and weary, it’s too much to bear Freezer trucks parked to store the decease Thousands of cases on a daily increase Makeshift hospitals in the Convention Center Used as an overflow for patients when they enter The world was moving extremely fast, might I care to mention But God is saying to us all, Do I now have your attention? Washing hands daily making sure to keep them clean Social distancing and staying inside just to quarantine Another version of house arrest is what it appears to be But relaxing and quiet time, is totally fine with me It’s not about what I like, it’s not about what I feel Not being judgmental, just writing what is real Unprepared? Yes, the White House dropped the ball Lesson learned for next time, not to ignore the call Unprepared? Yes, it definitely won’t happen again Emotionally, mentally and physically, our country will need to mend
