There’s an invisible enemy
hanging in the air
some say it’s from Wuhan
in China, over there.
It doesn’t really matter now.
They say it’s here to stay.
Wear a mask. Wear a mask. Wear a mask.
Some folks have conjured up stories,
they say it’s from a lab
or that it doesn’t exist at all-
it’s phony, it’s a scam.
“We have our rights”
“You can’t make me”
“The cure is worse than the disease”
Grandparents falter and succumb.
Wear a mask. Wear a mask. Wear a mask.
It wasn’t your problem but now it is,
first in Blue states, now in Red.
You got your freedom to go to bars,
you partied with family, now they’re dead.
I’m still at home, I miss my friends, and doing what I used to do.
Please do your part, like I’ve done mine.
Wear a mask. Wear a mask. Wear a mask.
Powerfully presented poem. You used the form very well.
Thank you. That was a tough one.
