Death Taxes and Hoarders
Death and taxes
End of times
Life as we know it
Different today thanks to the Corona Virus
New growth all around me
I work in a grade school
Where mamas waddle in baking babies
Wombs full of new life in our young teachers too
We were all living each moment
But suddenly the comfortable world as we knew it
Has stopped, and people are getting off
One CV19 at a time
I am watching the stores
Emptying of toilet paper, hand sanitizer and soap
Wondering if we are still going to be nice to each other tomorrow
Hoarders standing stoically in five hour lines, getting their share and mine
Death and taxes
But let us not forget new life
Let us remember the love and the hope
Let us remember to be nice for today may be our last opportunity to get it right.
