When people are

Suffering crying dying

When hospitals

Mortuaries are overflowing

When leaders are

Babbling bribing seeking

When hopes are

fading withering

When power is

Greedily devouring

values

How can you weep or sleep?

Allow no fears tears years

To paralyze You!

It is time for working

Slowly surely steadily

To think hard

To act swiftly

But not

To weep or sleep!

 

*** 

 

 

That's it

Some haves

Many have-nots

In vaccine access too

Inequity inhuman

It's big business!

 

Africa groans

Latin America moans

Asia awaits

While they

Grab lion's share

Of vaccine

All lives are precious and equal

Some have privilege

To live and let others die!
