Coronavirus Iii

Climbing the walls 
or are they holding me? 
Really anxiety is a slow moving plague;
Over the lingering fear; 
Not a question, not an answer 
always excusing irrational behavior; 
Viral spread of ‘You better listen’
ignoring the slow decline of freedom;
Radical screams pepper no substance;
Under the mask is the real virus 
slowly smothering independence.

Yet if EVERYONE complied with pandemic procedures, COVID-19 would have been contained 14-months ago; hundreds of thousands of people would still be alive, and even more would not be suffering lifetime disabilities! Aloha! Rico
