Any More Salks Out There
As Jonas was decried, put down
And ridiculed when he
Was doing Polio vaccines,
Successful in the end….
Is there no “Salk” out there somewhere
To do the same for this
Coronavirus nineteen that’s
Killing off our people?
Is it that competition keeps
Research lingering on,
Until large enough dollar bills
Are floating in the air?
Why should we wait for others to
Come up with a vaccine
And then race other countries to
Be first in line to buy?
What if Covid-19’s coming
Waves have mutated to
Survive in air, water, food,
What will we all do then?
It never hurts in this life to
Do as once was done.
Believe you can do something good
And you, like Salk, will win.
