The Party Is Over Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

<<<So, the party is over

from Rushmore no soothing words
of a nation coming together
to overcome the virus that kills so many
all we got was more hate and division
and people sans mask applauding.
In Germany, people were fervent admirers
of Hitler, we didn't understand why
despite his anti-Semitic rants, yet the people
clung to his Nazism to the end.
Like a virus, the unbecoming philosophy
spread to Israel, the victims this time are
the Palestinians and the passive world looks
on doing nothing to stop this madness.
We live in a world of denial where truth is
not of interest, but lies are the common currency
repeated by the press endlessly.
I look out of the window it is Sunday morning
it pains me I can do nothing to stop this
cauldron we live in from boiling over.
