Who would prepare for the battle,

Who would prepare for the battle,

If the trumpet never blew,

The binoculars were Safe in the locker,

What could the sailors do?

The whistle-blower failed,

To blow the whistle, and lo.

We never knew.

I tell you that's true, that's true.

Titanic could be saved from disaster,

If only those binoculars were out,

Do not underplay the truth,

Or life itself shall flout.

A virus is hunting us down,

We haven't found an antidote,

Third world war is different,

The enemy is visible only under a microscope.

Whistle-blower your hands are dirty,

For you failed to do your job,

How many will pay the price,

I can only sob.

NOTE

Whistle-blower = United Nations

Binoculars were locked in the safe of Titanic so sailors never discovered the iceberg.

Third world war is the war against the virus.
