Science deniers, election liars
anti-vaxxers, higher-taxers
…what a world, what a world
If you deny that Covid is a problem
that it’s no worse than the flu
but still get vaccinated “just in case”
while touting how everything “needs to open up;”
that wearing masks is “stupid”
—you might be an Anti-Fauci-ist
If you think schools should open up
and that the teachers should “suck it up,”
not caring that they’re at risk.
You have no children of your own,
but ever do you bitch and moan
—you might be an Anti-Fauci-ist
We slowly relax the rules, even as variants abound
a false-sense of security…until the next round.
A fifty percent vaccination rate, who are we trying to kid?
You think we have a handle on this? I doubt we ever did.
As those who still aren’t vaccinated come to visit dad and mom
they feign appall at protocol, unable to stay calm;
they bellyache about the rules, while putting folks at risk.
rank and file in denial, they argue and insist.;
While the governor in Florida sells Koozies for a joke
throws science to the sidelines, with words meant to provoke…
The problems in this country are too numerous to list
but on this day I give a nod to the “doubters” who exist;
the whiners and lamenters, whose words are catalysts
and call you out for what you are:
“Anti-Fauci–ists!”
