Wait.
What did he say?
I must be dreaming
This has gone too far
Surely, I'm dreaming
Behind a podium, one stands
The highest office in the land
Offering few words
Even remotely redeeming
“Talk it through out loud”?
People are listening!
People are listening!
The gullible and proud are really listening!
And when his rant is done
How long before a silly one
Will carry out what he’s proposed
Without even resisting?
It was just a joke?
But some are frightened!
But some are frightened!
Fifty thousand gone!
Many are frightened!
And when his jokes fall flat
How long the suffering after that?
Who’ll still be laughing
When the quarantine is tightened?
We misunderstood?
No, we heard just fine
No, we heard just fine
Dangerously wrong was each scary line
And when there’s fear to call it out
Complicity within; without
We hear the truth from those
Working on the front lines
