To kill some thousands, maybe millions more;
We like to think society is tough
But it was worse than we believed before,
So famines, poverty, and lack of care
Will do more damage than the virus will.
The virus is still spreading everywhere
And yet already we cannot refill
Our meager stock of just in time supplies.
Our hospitals engorge, we hoard, we act
Like all of this was somehow a surprise:
The details were, but we knew for a fact
Something like this could happen. When it did
We didn't plan, but closed our eyes and hid.
