It’s the people, Stupid! It’s not just the numbersNot the headcount Not the casualties or the dead? It’s the people, stupid! It’s the fathers The mothers The children The grandpas and grandmas The nurses Doctors Bus drivers And all those kind and gentle souls? Who struggled Died And passed away While you fiddled Stumbled Lied and gaslighted While you counted votes Not bodies While you fanned the flames Tweeted And refused to wear a mask Refused to show compassion The bully-in-chief The pretender The fake The evil clown It’s the people, Stupid! ? |
