As repetition is not
Redundant when
The goal is retention
Once again—let’s focus ...
Focus on what?
Pleeze—Focus upon
Every person’s responsibility to
Face up to the stark reality
Staring medical teams across
Our nation, eye to eye, scaring
Highly trained doctors, PAs
Nurses, technicians and aides
Day after day after day—
We cannot fool ourselves into
Believing lies trumped up
By trump, suggesting that
The end of this
Global pandemic can be
Scheduled in hopes of
Saving our economy from tanking at
The expense of countless lives lost—not
The lives of strangers but of
Your loved ones and mine being that
Covid-19, like the fickle finger of fate
Will continue to run rampant through
Our streets, killing at will unless
Leadership grows so wise, over night
(Yeah, right!) As to—
“Adopt the pace of nature—her secret is patience.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Got it?
Thank God! Because
United we heal, strengthen and live
Divided we fail to thrive and—die
As this pandemic threatens life or death
We must unite for the common good
And here is why that’s true—
If this virus is to be vanquished
Once and for all then
We must make no mistake concerning
Communal need to remain
Fully aware of this fact—
The time to unite for the common good on
A global scope has never before been
So vital to human survival as proves true
Right now!
