Masks for All:
Narrative poem
If the world, went crazy
definitely chronologically
from 2020 to 2022
You know what I do?
Eat a big slice of humble pie,
cry and try something new...
A global pandemic nastier
than the common flu
The haves have
whole countries
of have-nots blue!
Only flakey
Or
corny thing,
I will consume
is fried ice cream,
enough for two!
Mentally on a
continuous hamster wheel;
Of constant cabin fever-
If the world, went crazy
definitely chronologically
from 2020 to 2022
You know what I’d say?
Those who refuse to wear masks,
are thick headed
as malted milkshakes
Threw up my hands,
all politeness out the window
No I will not, shake your hands
without sanitizing after
I don’t wish for you,
to blow out candles
on a cake
we’re NOT
swappin spit,
today!
Keep your distance,
six feet away!
YAWN
pardon me, bless you,
cover your mouth
when you sneeze
Wash your hands after
wiping your own ass!
If the world, went crazy
definitely chronologically
from 2020 to 2022
You know what I read?
State school closures,
businesses too!
Number of school shooting
decreases,
as covid cases hit
peaks like mountains
Cure-all’s ingest bleach
Swallow dose of ivermectin
Come again?
Annihilate a whole mink,
and
Neighborhood cat population
Carryover a covid mutation
strain like eyes
The biggest
devastation was the riot
on the capital building...
The sky won’t fall,
a shot, is not
being a sheep
its a civic duty-
No microchip embedded
in the skin-
May that let your misinformed
head spin!
Mask aren’t for
medical professionals
Hospitals beds are
completely maxed,
The sick are waiting
hours upon hours to be
treated
Some states are in crisis,
reaching out to another
for patient care
As many still believe covid
simply isn’t there...
To all who say, untrue
won’t believe
till it happens to you;
No one is invincible
enough to be immune
Quit sticking your nose
into things
pinch the wire,
it has no
affect below your nostrils
let humanity get back
a sense of normalcy
conform to
the curve of society
Mask for one, mask for all!
Paper, plastic, cotton,
not just for grocery sacks
Come on y’all!
