We Need To Plant Better Seeds

He said he didn’t want to create a panic.
That’s why Trump lied and was not forthcoming.
The pandemic is not one to bow to him.
It didn’t stop in its tracks, it keeps spreading.

At around 176,000 deaths –
Loved ones who had their last breaths!
A poll was done and it was found –
Fifty-seven percent of Republicans said those deaths were “acceptable”.
As their leader stood proudly on his pedestal.

What is the Administration’s plan to recover from and exit this pandemic?
Trump just seems focused on getting re-elected.
He still blames and divides.
Works to escape his legal binds.
Stroke fear and panic for votes.
At every chance he gloats.
Downplay his mishaps.
While States are dealing with disasters,
We’re bracing for a flu season.
No plan to prepare the healthcare system.

It’s ironic that the sports teams have resources to test and trace.
While they make a come-back,
They have a plan to keep their members safe.
What about American citizens?
Why aren’t we allowed that benefit too?
Because we call for less government.
And channel the money to private and corporations.
We’re so afraid of Socialists.
Even as we cry for government assist.
So again we’re faced with – “we reap what we sow”.
When will we plant the seeds for what we say we want to grow?
