Pandemic Panic
Pandemic Panic
They ran out to buy all the toilet paper they could find
They ran out and bought all the hand cleaners of all kinds
They cleaned out all of the shelves from our grocery store
They took all they could carry and cried out for more
They bought things that they would never buy before
They hoarded things, thinking they made a big score
They didn’t care if there was enough for you and I
They didn’t even think, or stop and questioned why
They only wanted to exploit those who were in need
They only wanted to quench their thirst for greed
They didn’t stay home, stay in quarantine as they should
They didn’t believe they were sick, nor thought they would
They didn’t believe that this pandemic was all true
They didn’t care if others got sick, nor cared about you
They lost the concept that we are all in this together
They lost the idea, it will take some time to weather
Try not to be one of them, show your true humanity
Try not to get caught up in all this unfolding insanity
We will all get through this, if we work together as one
We will beat this, we must all do our part, till it’s done
