They Gathered All the Scientists
They gathered all the scientists
And blue checked folks with clout,
Then casting wisdom in the fire,
The flattened curve jumped out.
To keep the folk from reveling,
Presumed to cause the spread,
They tried to lock the virus down,
Got nursing homes instead.
The jab, developed at warp speed,
Anathema to the left,
Became a tool political,
A means for freedom’s theft.
The truth: the experts do not know;
They’re really flying blind.
To come up with decisions made,
You’d think ‘twas all designed.
Our leaders do not bear all blame;
The culpable, entwined.
For it appears the people too
Lost their collective mind.
See, not much changed since long ago,
When Mo came back to town,
And gave the bitter medicine:
The golden calf, drunk down.
And so the “pure” get Omicron,
The unwashed get it too.
There’s blame enough for all to share
Before this thing is through.
What learn we from this episode?
One takeaway’s a must:
Imperative, the choice we make
In whom we place our trust.
