Silent Spring
What goes through the minds of public health folks when they lift all mitigations in the face of a rapidly spreading wave of new variants that are even more immune evasive, and durable and cause ongoing issues with all that are infected. Silent Spring [Verse] In my office late at night Staring at the data nothing feels right I know the truth that I can't say Mandates lifted people at play [Chorus] Silent spring summer of lies I watch the numbers slowly rise Can't sound the alarm hands are tied Public health a hollow disguise [Verse 2] Economy first that's the drill Transmission unchecked but the malls are filled Long COVID looms a future unclear But my job's on the line if I spread fear [Bridge] In private moments grief takes hold Tales of sorrow stories untold Watching friends and family fall Feels like I'm up against a wall [Chorus] Silent spring summer of lies I watch the numbers slowly rise Can't sound the alarm hands are tied Public health a hollow disguise [Verse 3] In every briefing scripted words Silence questions truth deferred Mask the pain hide the fight Pretend the wrongs will make it right © Scott Bleackley 2024 * folkstone.ca See Also @SCZoomers on X, mastodon, threads, and TikTok Zoomers of the Sunshine Coast, BC https://www.facebook.com/groups/1632045180447285
