The American Legend

When pondering the evils of Covid 19 
Does anyone wonder about the number of last century? 
We move so fast 
The great USA with world class 
Give us your tired your poor the lady inscribed 
Our country is paved with gold and that was no lie 
Written word was replaced with audio 
And a screen having visuals that were naughty o 
There once was a buggy with a horse 
That disappeared when the engine was a perfect source 
Soon we took flight 
When Wilbur and Orville figured it out just right 
This sparked imagination 
And going into the space was the new world passion
Today when we were dealing with reality 
Covid 19 quietly was doing the tally 
A bug looking for a fight 
Wiped everything out that was in sight 
People have died others cried 
When they have been trapped inside 
America needs to put on its thinking cap 
As it takes that long Covid 19 work at home nap
