SIX FEET APART

 
                SIX FEET APART WE STAND
                I HAVE A MASK ON MY FACE
‘                SOCIAL DISTANCING IT’S CALLED
                DEALING WITH A VIRUS’S EMBRACE

                OUT OF NECESSITY I AM
                DOING THE BEST TO COMPLY
                WHAT I SEE IS DISTURBING
                IGNORANT PEOPLE WHO DON’T TRY

                “IT WON’T HAPPEN TO ME!”
                “I HATE THIS STUPID MASK!”
                “RUBBER GLOVES ARE AWKWARD!”
                “PUTTING THEM ON IS A TASK!”

                ALL OF THIS I HAVE HEARD
                PLUS SO MANY MORE
                I SHAKE MY HEAD IN ANGER
                AS I EXIT THE STORE DOOR

                IT SEEMS THAT THEY DON’T CARE
                WHETHER THEY LIVE OR DIE
                MAYBE THEY ARE TOO LAZY
                TO GIVE SELF PRESERVATION A TRY

                UNLESS GOD KILLS THIS VIRUS
                THE DEATH RATE WILL SOAR
                THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT
                STAY HOME BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
