Perhaps, the way that bleach eradicates a stain
It was the Flu's fraternal twin; nothing to see here
By now, only a faint remembrance should remain
But it's still here, and every day people are dying
While willful ignorance and lies take center stage
Some still don't care;
Still flaunt things as simple as masking
Wondering why, like others, we can't turn the page
"Don't let it scare you" say those who get world-class service
"You're not as vulnerable as experts say you are"
High profile players who were close, seem to have vanished
Those who had in-House status, worry from afar
Pink eyes and flies gave us a momentary chuckle
But what was sinister, was how those who knew well
That they were sick, didn't shut down, as recommended
But sought to spread to others, their own private hell
Leaders who could stem the tide, still turn a blind eye
Cushioned by riches; thinking, surely, they're exempt
From the destruction that's compounded by inaction
And the indictment sure to come as they attempt
To keep enshrined a system marred by gross injustice
And disregard of human life, and liberty
But like a karmic boomerang, the plague holds court now
Cancelling privilege, favor, and immunity
It is the great equalizer; it has no favorites
It's not political, as some think it must be
It bagged a host--one most dense, dangerous, and famous
Even it couldn't believe the irony
