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
