Policies change quickly now
With all that we’ve been learning
I finally see how science works
To get the tables turning
All people can be fooled sometimes
Some people by what’s trending
But everyone forever, well
It seems that time is ending
Soon comes the explanation
It always seems the same
The damage is colossal
But no one is to blame
So how should we react to those
Who took control and kept it
Those, while claiming competence
Who took our faith and leapt it?
Should we respond with charity
The way my pastor mentions
Assuming those who did such harm
Did so with good intentions
Or rather, absent malice
But by way of substitution
Sate our long frustration
With some righteous retribution
Patience is a virtue
That proverb’s had a long run
But in this kind of crisis
That sentence was the wrong one
Fear can make us hesitate
And we all fear the reaper
But every week we waited
Got us in the quicksand deeper
Every state must legislate
No matter how it plays
That powers of emergency
Run out at 90 days
So come the next disaster
When precaution seems attractive
Remember that it’s also good
To be a bit proactive
