Poem
I cannot help but notice that, since Wuhan virus was released, we have seen a real absence of those who proclaim themselves elite. The lawyer and the professors, the politicians and the like, have all become somewhat useless, and some have just vanished from sight. They’re not counted as essential, don’t help all the people survive, it kind of makes you reassess who is important in our lives. The academics who claim that they are above simple ‘truth,’ who push sinful socialism, and corrupt the minds of the youth. They do love acting important, but now, when they’re trapped in their homes, society had not sputtered, by their absence no loss in known. Our children have a chance to learn since their professors cannot work, were they ever more important than all those grocery store stocking clerks? The actors who look good naked when they’re up on the silver screen, those closet perverts in LA who belittle the heartland scene, now they prattle on from their homes, and without writers it is clear that by themselves they can’t entertain, they come off as brain-dead and weird. These were the folks we idolized, no more than pretty lunatics? Are they really more important than nurses who care for the sick? Then there’s lawyers and politicians, but I guess I repeat myself, always blathering on TV, they speak, but nothing do they tell. When it comes to giving relief they play powers games with the vote, no problem with watching us die to increase their government bloat. Even in an emergency our ‘betters’ act like foolish churls, just forget these useless people, the truck drivers will save the world.
