The Antidisenlightenment

Poems in the time of Corona

The Antidisenlightenment

We're screaming at science:
where did you go?

We've listened to doubters,
but now we believe.

We've elected naysayers
but now want to know:

the serum, the vaccines,
the drugs for relief.

We're waiting here,
science, come on!

But do shut up about climate change,
won't you?
