Dropping Like Flies

The infection is spreading
Like a field infested with insects, with pests that multiply
Unable to treat the infection, it's becoming larger

You can't handle
You let it go

You let it take over

Leaving
The open field for them to multiply
You don't care
Because what grows is not deemed worth the fight

As a result your plants are dying at an alarming rate
Nobody bats an eye
We only hear well written public statements full of promises
We hear you say you're concerned, that you understand but nothing is done
State of emergency, where are the resources?
It's all talk

Help isn't on the way!

Communities will remain under strain
Pushed to the breaking point
Everyone is scrambling to save lives

As long as you feel their lives do not matter
They will keep dying
