The Day In May

Since the corona
Faith in humanity
Is lost outta door now
Smearing safety protocol 
Under the carpet now
The right to live not upheld
Brings out all kinds scandal ish
The look in their eyes so devilish
A staff nurse came with the flu on shift
Announced to us as patients
Fate brought me and Ismail's lives
A battle for survival
Coz his immune was down
He'd developed a fever 
Then he remembers 
The nurse's revelation
Made us out to be rebels
Ismail was tested for corona first
They've used my disability against me
With the Lord's help I fought back on
I tested negative I serve a God
He is alive and well
Coz of Him we ain't no
Dead men with no tale to tell
Now ain't no sunshine 
Coz it's on
Now it is July
This I'm bringing back
I ain't hitting no road Jack!
You might be 'Gatesville melomed
You're gonna let anyone think
I was a pot that cracked
I Just brought out facts

So much passion, so much truth! Oftentimes, some good folks will usher in the evidence of their fear. The evidence of our Creator's "Power" and Mighty Strength, trumps fear every time and leaves the grabbling for a bone. Glorious writing, friend!
