Mask
Got to Wear a Mask
Protect your self
That's what we were taught
Growing up
We survived doing whatever it took
Now life for the past two years has been a task
Now you have to wear a mask
Wear a mask to protect you from an airborne virus
That was later called Covid or Corona
Got to keep your mask on ya
When you go out
And enjoy life
It comes with a price
That we shall not ask
We should do what we are told and wear the mask
Whether in a grocery store
In a hospital
Or a restaurant
Wear it and don't share it
Because that germs and we are trying to keep them away
How long is this virus going to stay
They told us to mask up put on gloves and we did
Yet some still caught Covid
So how do you know it will ever end
Now when you get dressed don't forget your mask
Please people do as they ask
Now it's a rule you have to wear them in school
I saw last night that a parent was pissed and now she made a threat to load the gun
Because we have to protect the children and staff
Please do the math
Figure the equations
Do what is told
Do not fold
Never knew the crime
Of protecting yourself and others
We have to start looking out for each other
Who would have ever thought
The day would come when we would have to keep our mouth covered
To keep down on contracting this virus
Urgent cares on packed hospital as a matter of fact
Numbers surpassing
Keep on your mask so it won't keep lasting
