275,000 people dead

2,000 per day

14 million cases

The silence

From our dear leader

And congressional leaders

Says it all

the WH hosts

Christmas parties

As if the pandemic

Did not exist

The corona ghosts

Were not invited

But they haunt

Our parties

And our memories

If only our president

Realized

That this is not the time

For parties as usual

Not the time for mass rallies

It is time to mask up

Take charge

The virus will end

As the vaccine spreads

The pandemic will run

Its course

But how many people die

between now and then

It is up to us of us
