The Pandemic Blues

I’ve got those dirty, lowdown Covid-19 blues.

You have to be aware of it; it’s all over the news.

The right’s so irresponsible; for that, there’s no excuse.

We can go forward or back; the nation has to choose.

——

We just did what we were told; we took one for the team.

We drove over a hundred miles to get the damn vaccine.

For people to do otherwise, I think is just obscene.

It’s ok if they lose their jobs; you know just what I mean.

——

I’ve got the blues.

The pandemic blues.

Mandates are required here;

There’s no right to refuse.

They claim it’s about freedom

But they ignore the costs.

Their freedom’s just another word

For thousands of lives lost.
