APATHY

One big reason COVID was as bad as it was

This was a poem I wrote during the worst of the COVID pandemic.

Apathy is one big reason COVID is killing many people every day

People don't seem to care enough to protect each other

A person won't wear their mask at all or in the right way

The partying still goes on despite the fact many would suffer

Hundreds of people could be alive today

Young and old, family and friends, father and mothers

(We only have to listen and obey)
