Corona Truth

We all respond differently, To the news and it’s delivery Sometimes it is loud and abrasive, Distorted and dismissive Some channels speak common sense, Reassuring me not to get tense Positive good news never sells, It’s the dramatic and shocking that does well It’s said a “good” lie should have a bit of truth, Watch a few broadcasters to get your proof Anxiety and concern they want to spread, It’s all about getting inside your head To convince that it’s fiction over facts, Trust your judgement on how to act Information overcomes fear, When discussions make things clear Social distance, Improves my resistance Despite the compromises to my routine, My hands have never been so clean It’s not every day we fight a pandemic, But we can with simple logic Understand too it’s not a hoax, No matter what the anchor man spoke Our world gets smaller every day, Increasing the chance bad stuff comes our way So too, this storm we can weather, For we are all in this together
