Notes About The Poem

Covid 19

Its uncertainty takes us into year three
Must mask up, still not quite free
A randomness science can’t comprehend
Mandate not, don’t get the shot—the latest trend
Surrendered to what’s taken longer
The jabs make immune systems stronger 
To misleading rumors, we fall quarry
Thousands more we’ll surely bury
This spiky protein called Covid Nineteen
Ages five and up, now get your vaccine
A conspiratorial depopulation
Manufactured in another nation
The masses, it’s here for all races
Children seen with shrouded faces
Is this it, is Covid here to stay
What do doctors tell us to say
The virus evolves, it doesn’t go away
What lessons can be learned
Another life sickened and spurned
The Pope, another epistle 
To what tune do we whistle
What will they say all over the world
Every man for himself, every boy and girl
All grown up—they’ll be heard and seen 
As the — Generation Covid Nineteen!

A real lesson to be learned, everyone should be inoculated, it is only common sense. Navy bootcamp-15 shots in one day-and no complaints! Robert

Vaccines save lives. Polio struck America's preeminent ballerina in the 1950's, rendering her unable to ever dance again, all because she impatiently left the vaccination line, a great example people should know

Yea a whole generation will grow up, hopeful from out of the restraints of covid. Love the poetry, it tells one the way it is. A poem for the archives to be read over and over.

Hello I Am Anaya, Welcome to poetry soup. I feel that the virus has been around long enough. This is the 3rd year of the virus. I keep hoping something stronger to come along to rid of the virus. Enjoy your evening my friend.
