Goodnight Doom
In the white oval room
There was a computer running zoom
And the orange buffoon
And a vision of-
An overwhelming sense of doom
And there were senators sitting on ventilators
And six million infections
And impending evictions
And a failing post
And another boast
And blame and a lie and two hundred thousand die
And a country yelling “I can’t breathe”
Goodnight room
Goodnight zoom
Goodnight overwhelming sense of doom
Goodnight right
And the red buffoon
Goodnight senators
Goodnight ventilators
Goodnight infections
And goodnight evictions
Goodnight police
And goodnight peace
Goodnight failing post
And goodnight boast
Goodnight blame
And goodnight lie
Goodnight everyone
Who has died
And goodnight country yelling “I can’t breathe”
Goodnight fear
Goodnight vote
Goodnight voices everywhere
