RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
Dead in Brazil
A nation’s people pay the price
For a supremely incompetent leader
Bolsonaro served the function
Of a coronavirus breeder
He refused to acknowledge
The nature of the beast
Allowing it to spread from
The west out to the east
Now the virus takes its hold
As it kills both young and old
While the people party on
Like the chorus of a song
Though they know it can’t be right
They have given up the fight
So they pretend it isn’t real
They tell their hearts not to feel
They fill their days with laughter
But will mourn forever after
It is the dirge of Bolsonaro
It is a bold and deadly show
Three hundred thousand dead and rising
Without sign that it will slow
We must bow our heads and pray
If we are the praying kind
We will send what help we can
Take what comfort you can find
