Incompetence Kills

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES



Incompetence Kills

People were fed up I understand
Throw out the old try a new brand
They’re all the same the old folks said
Now the old folks are sick in bed

You delivered a message loud and clear
They played to your hopes
He played to your fear

Now what do you think
When you’re calm and still?
You could not have known
Incompetence kills

We slipped by for three long years
The market soared
The end drew near

When the pandemic came
We wrote our wills
We should have known
Incompetence kills

He saw it coming and turned away
He said don’t worry we’ll be okay
We won’t all survive but most of us will
How were we to know?
Incompetence kills

He fought for the rich
Spat on the poor
On the bright side
He never started a war

Just a miserable leader
Grist for the mill
But we never suspected
Incompetence kills
