Casualties of War

We had a World War.
We won.
We had a War on Poverty.
We lost.
We had a war on covid.
A million Americans dead.
Who’s to blame?
Those who could have stopped it.
It’s history. When we forget history, censure it, deny it, it repeats.
We’re supposed to forget covid.
The Power has already minimized it.

“Old news.”

If the blame game is only a game, those million will have died in vain.
Cancelling fact and denying truth has not yet destroyed it. Not yet.
Clear-cut the landscape, but truth has roots.
Early reports of covid were dismissed.

“It’s nothing.”

“Only a few.”

“It’s over there in CHINA.”

“Nothing to worry about.”

Then deaths.

“Keep the ship offshore. If the passengers die on American soil, they’ll raise our statistics to a number people will notice, and they’ll demand action.”

“Ok, ok, but we’re dealing with it. We have Fauci. No we don’t, don’t listen to him, inject yourself with bleach.”

“No mask, mask.”

“Vaccines don’t work.”

“I could have stopped it before it started?”

“A million Americans dead?”

“Old news.”

“Forgettabout it.”

No, we can’t.
We took an oath, “Do no harm.”
You can break your oath, deny the truth, bury the facts, burn the books, close the schools, wash the brain with detergent, and still I rise.

I honor the American dead. They did not die in vain.
