Platforms, People and Power

"...Power dodges poverty, pity doesn't pay..."

Platforms, People and Power

Prophets, prophecies, preaching
Platforms perform perfectly, people
In these periods of the pandemic
Some people propagate propaganda
Power dodges poverty, pity doesn't pay
Humanity humbles pride and prejudice

Please people, provide fresh humour
Perhaps it's no pollution unlike rumor
No guinea pigs, people are perceptive!
40 is greater than 4, the needier the faster
Anything else is a sinister, devious game
Virus and vaccines, no to virus and vice
