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
