In case, just in case … we ever forget.
The criminal, criminal idiocy
of those ridiculing, denying,
downplaying Republicans
& their enablers, sycophants,
ever-knowing heads-that-talk,
on Fox …
oh, yes … Fox!
OAN, Twitter, Parler,
& such, & on & on …
…
As of this day,
December 3rd, 2020,
273,476 folks have died,
& over 144 million
carry the virus.
All those who denied the mask,
shrugged off ‘the flu’,
reasoned with ‘heck, death is natural’,
argued as political hacks,
ignored science as ‘free-men’,
safety as ‘patriots’,
just plain decent common-sense
& care & respect for their fellow
travelers in this fragile world,
… as tyranny, leftism, & elitism,
…
& Trump,
oh yes Trump …
with his early bluster, denial,
petty ignorance & ill-preparedness …
…
& so here we are …
273,476 as of this morn,
& let us not forget
those whose in-action,
ignorance & denial,
have a responsibility here,
at this moment,
that cannot, cannot,
ever … be forgotten.
with tears, long distance farewells,
pain, heartache, sadness & sorrow …
never forgotten.
… & never forget.
