I’m hunkered down in my bunker
don’t even drive my old clunker
because someone made a huge blunder
they went and feasted on Bat!!
what kind of terrible dietary violation is that.
I’ve read every damn book
in my house three times
I’ve memorized every chapter
I can quote every line
worked on jigsaw puzzles
so much that I’m going blind
trying to fill the gaps
with pieces I just can’t find
I watched every movie made
since 1963
but now my cable is broke
and they won’t fix it for me
they’d have to come in the house
and I Might have the disease.
I might have the disease!
my friends can’t come over
cause they disobeyed
the strict rules on Covid
when they partied each day
they’re all in quarantine
their locked up just like me
and I’ve texted them so much
it’s made my fingers bleed.
I go out to the store
but it’s like Halloween
everybody’s in masks
and when they’re talking at me
I can’t see if their smiling
or frowning sadly
it’s hard to figure
out their moods
they got no lips to see
then my mask gets so hot
that it's hard to breathe
I had to make them from Pampers
I was to broke to be
a fancy mask wearers
from designer boutiques’
and soon I have to dash home
when my face is sweaty.
My face is sweaty!
When Donald trump comes on T.V.
I just want to scream frustratedly
He’s not wearing a mask
but yet he’s forced them on me,
all because his personna
is ruled by vanity
all because his personna
is ruled by vanity
but he’s not getting my vote
when I‘m finally free
cause he’s been out playing golf
when I’m in SOLITARY!!
Could someone please find a vaccine
that will soon guarantee
things are normal again
without the fear of dying
I understand quite completely
separation's the key
being distantly social
is a necessity
life’s better six feet away
then burial six foot deep.
burial six foot deep.
But I’ve not seen my girlfriend
for over ten weeks
and her cell phone is broken
so we can’t even speak.
She’s back to writing me letters
that she scents with perfume
I spent my nights hugging paper
all alone in my room
Please forgive my frustration
matching our whole damn Nation
it's time to end our gestation
that was born in the womb
of that mother-fricking virus
putting good souls in a tomb.
And God bless the protesters
all the non-violent ones
who risked their lives against Covid
facing tear gas and guns
because the law became lawless
they put their knee in the neck
of poor George Floyd a black man
suffocated to death
death/ Death/ death/ death/ death/ death/ .
When this virus has passed us
we must rise up and fight
as a people united
Black and white, let’s ignite
flames of passion
that burn bright
for new laws that indict
cops that kill Black civilians
cause we all know that’s not right.
cops that kill Black civilians
Yeah, we all know that's not right.
And Godspeed to all of you
for a cure that will SMITE,
this Covid19 virus that has
brought us this plight!
Godspeed to all
Goodnight.
