“The pandemic has eroded democracy and respect for human rights”
- The Economist (17 Oct. 2020)
Is like blaming
The bank you robbed
Because you got caught,
Or
George W. Bush
Declaring a war
On terror.
There reside in me
A self-righteous cynic
Hoping we
Are incapable
Of recovering.
Will there ever
Be enough strength
To accept
All the guilt?
