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.
