man's unquenchable need
propagating disease
propagating disease
resistance borne
in the livestock slaughtered
for our unquenchable need
antibiotic demise
our last defence is spent
for our unquenchable need
man's unquenchable need
propagating disease
propagating disease
viral contagions amass
a new world order awaits
Drug and antibiotic resistance due to overuse of such medication in animal agriculture. The encroachment of human activity into wild spaces.The threat of more frequent pandemics as a result of climate change. The rise of anti science and vaccination movements. The politicization of a disease that does not recognize your arbitrary boundaries. The rise of nationalism and racism by othering those who suffer the same as you.

a plague has swept across the land
no one is safe, all lives are at risk
respiratory system failure
social order held on by a thread
paranoia, fear and hate
collateral death for capital gain
lives are forfeit in the face of profit
you’ll pay lip service
as they stem the death
Right wing governments will praise socialised health care systems and the good samaritan on the street, whilst strip mining and defunding public access and low cost health care. A song for the true heroes, those who risk their lives to help others.

Disorder

the curtains twitch
the heads are shaken
we turn on one another
the turncoat neighbour
we agree to deprivation
police state, freedoms taken
rights are stolen
for your own good
the mask has slipped
this truth exposed
elderly serve no purpose
a triage of fit to work
this virus shows the ugly truth
we live to work for them
Governments will take advantage of such situations to pass laws that will outlast the events they were apparently implemented for -draconian measures to take control, in most cases to profit or prolong the incumbent government. Misdirection by right wing media, antagonists and conspiracy theorists draw attention away from the obvious.

all out of TV sketches
the network flickers inconsistent
cupboards bare,
lock down indefinite
stay away, keep your distance
the mask has slipped
from their bastard system
cough nothing, sneeze nothing, touch nothing
Social distancing during pandemics isn’t just for you, it’s for those most vulnerable. The failed, hackneyed politicised attempts by many governments has fallen flat on its face, without even providing protective equipment for those most in need. It has taken the camaraderie and cooperation of frontline medical workers and the general public to continue to keep this system functioning, whilst disaster capitalists masquerading as government officials profit endlessly.
