Someone Has to Pay The Price

Yet another grim fatality statistic for the United States
with over 500,000 meeting their final fates
how much longer will this vile viral attack continue hammering the world?
when all is over
the blame game will start with a roar
with a particular vengeance for deaths among the poor
politicians and medicos will be booted out the door
and the sensationalist media will act like a boor
and feast on the lies, half truths and political blunders
which have torn the spirit of nations asunder
is it best to take time to heal
or let the guilty squeal?

Before you point the finger at someone else perhaps that is cowardly blame
perhaps by our indifference and failing to speak up at the appropriate time
you and I are the ones that committed the crime
