Time to Write a Poem

April 23 Pandemic

Pandemic

"Shelter at home"
the scientists say.
"Don't infect your neighbor,
cover your face, wash your hands."

A flu is a flu, people get sick,
some will die, it happens every year,
just the name and symptoms change.
Its always the elders most at risk
but we're all eventually
going to die from something.

Many dare to congregate
while others stay home
Why is a walk in a park
more dangerous than standing
in line at Walmart?

Essential workers don masks
and do their jobs
some from home, some not.

I'm by nature a hermit,
I'll stay home, you go out,
just don't come here.
