Tiller

There is no
Hand on the
Tiller as we sail
Into this pandemic,
No emphasis from the
Top on paying folks most
Hurt by stay at home regulations
Like the soul who cleans your house
Or mows your yard or waitresses
Waiters and all the service staff
Workers with no paycheck and
No savings and all this with
No hand on the tiller of the
Ship of state to protect us
From price gouging price
Hikes on essential items
Unrestrained, to lies
About the scarcity
Of masks gloves
Medical supply
Items while
Athletes
Get a
Test
And we
Wait to get
Pandemic panic
As our society has
No hand on the tiller.
