The New V



I’m too crazy to be lazy
Or is it to lazy to be crazy?
Something I shall ponder
But for now, I will just wonder
With the thought of why
When I see the lady next to me
Wearing her mask alone in her car
With thoughts of COVID not being far
Submit and obey the fear
There’s a new lovely variant near
Even more deadly than the last
Makes the old Covid look lame
So, stand fast
We got more “dark days” ahead
Here take your vaccine and go to back to bed
We’re cooking up more fear for you to dread
This intense distraction is simply designed
To illicit a reaction
And keep us a fraction
Of what we used to be
Strong, United and most of all… Free
“Never let a crisis go to waste” was once said
A fitting epitaph for the masses of braindead
Eagerly awaiting more gloom and doom
While they cower in a “Covid safe” room
Sucking up the news of submit and obey
Guess what? You get to live another day
Because your safe and do what we say
LOL
