Poem
When the frustrated socialist sees that health care isn't free He turns into a killer, claims he's saving you and me He murders a CEO, to make a point, because he could For the goal of perfection is the enemy of the good He gets adulation from those who think healthcare is a right They think profit is the devil, and he was fighting the good fight But doctors must be paid, and nurses, drug makers too When the government runs it all, will you kill when you can't sue? Britain has national care, there the docs are underpaid Patients don't get seen on time, whistleblowers are afraid 50 thousand wrong deaths each year, at least death is free Anyone can murder, but that way lies anarchy. Brian was a farm boy, then Valedictorian, then a CPA Became an overpaid CEO, but isn't rising the American way? He helped disabled kids compete, stayed a regular guy But a rich Ivy League kid decided he must die. When Covid came, Brian offered to distribute funds for free Some see profit over people but doesn't seem that way to me. It may be rad and cool to cheer, maybe they feel authentic and real But some of us just see murder, and a wound that will fester, never heal. There are problems with our health care, most of us agree But if you think it's expensive now, just wait until its free Systems that tried to replace profit, slaughtered millions, quite bizarre I never understood how hypocritical radical leftists are. If you come across the border, you get free care in the E.R. Our hospitals go broke, because idealists went too far Medicaid won't pay full costs, that causes bankruptcy too And yes, our insurance system makes no sense, it needs a big redo. No doctor can cure this revealed sickness in the air Only 33 percent of youth say the killing was unfair If you live by abstractions, you won't see wrong from right A world that cheers on murder cannot claim the moral height.
