Brazilian Variants
A lethal wind
Blows across the sea
From the jungles of Brazil.
Variations,
Aggressive, virulent,
Making young people ill.
Death-rates
Soar to the heavens
The poor pick up the bill.
Litany of arrogance
Stupidity and ignorance
Bolsonaro’s will.
Variants blossom
Journey round the world
Mutating – never still.
Setting up home
In a billion new lungs
Young lives to kill.
Opher – 6.4.2021
As Bolsonaro emulates his mentor Trump. Putting money before lives. Denying the virus. Promoting crackpot cures, spreading conspiracy.
All that matters is his wealth and power. Cynically killing thousands.
Now the virus is out of control. Mutation is prevalent. Variants that are much more aggressive are killing younger people and these variants are pouring out around the world.
The disaster, Bolsonaro’s disaster, is a disaster for the whole world.
Trump, Bolsonaro, Modi, Erdogan and Johnson – the unholy five greatest populist clowns. Greedy, selfish, power-mad, divisive and the arbiters of ruin.
