“All Ramped Up”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

All ramped up
with scavenger hunts
along with quickly
diminishing public trust
having been met with bluster
and unproven drugs
naively asking, “Can the games
still go on this Summer?”
feeling sorely vulnerable
and exceedingly territorial
while missing the big picture
for fizzling ill citizens
as health strategists
furtively feel powerless
with thick algorithmic strings attached
to lethally proceeding deliriums...
