straight

We find ourselves in this viral state 

you know, the hoax with a mask mandate 

increasing at an alarming rate 

affecting not only those living late 

but now with a younger mortality rate 

numbers seeing no abate 

working from the home plate 

in an effort to isolate 

and some to even alienate 

still growing is the daily update 

some just can’t seem to get it straight 

we are creating our own fate 

when a few refuse to cooperate 

allowing the virus to disseminate 

cases continue to accumulate 

this is still part of our debate

asymptomatics still congregate

the selfishness they demonstrate

more cases to generate

scientific facts they miscommunicate 

family members they contaminate

a narcissistic concentrate

unable to see the entire slate 

or unwilling to participate 

there should be no hesitate 

we must continue to segregate 

the only way to realistically create 

a working COVID stalemate 

once more, let me elaborate 

masks everywhere we congregate 

sanitize touches and things which relate 

wash your hands, don’t hesitate 

distance six feet, keep it separate 

did I make it straight?
