Mass Delusion
Instead of wearing a mask
practicing social distancing,
Mango Mussolini insists
on conducting Nuremberg Rallies.
Red-hatted acolytes crowd together,
scoff at science, statistical evidence,
spread viral infection,
fuel ongoing pandemic.
Sceptics quote discredited physicians,
frame caution as cowardice,
refer to those who follow CDC guidelines
as simpleton sheeple.
They pack the beaches,
converge on tourist towns,
return to bars, tattoo parlors,
gather in churches.
Infection rates skyrocket.
Body counts burgeon.
If this is a cosmic IQ test,
our country is failing.
