Punch the Pandemic
As long as day was bright, shade was in demand
when shadows invaded, frantic search for light,
can’t man live in peace, sans envy, pride, fright?
Composure ensures safety to ship under command.
Caution good any day
can’t avoid some at times;
tact helps us sometimes
firm, soft words best way.
Unhindered liberty harms, swarms, swallows
thoughtless masses gather for eternal sleep;
paranoid helmsmen sacrifice men like sheep,
pandemic spares none, drives all to gallows!
Uncaring folks cause pain
move on, carry not strain;
faith heals, cheers, fails none
keep bonds strong, snap none!
