We outsource
Our health to doctors
We let
Teachers teach our children
How to learn
And worse
What to learn
Our arguments are
Argued by lawyers
Even our gossip-mongering
Is sublet to journalists
And our dirty work is of course
Done by the maid
So when a virus
Upends the world
We are at a loss
As to what to
Do
Feel
Think
And are content to
Follow the leader
No matter how outrageous
His lead
We abdicate our very selves
And then cast around
For someone else to blame
For the state of the world
