The Mask

The Mask By Franklin Price 07/24/2020 You ask, Why should you wear the mask? Why have on shirt and shoes? They violate your freedoms So piss and moan and sing the blues The world is all about you Learned it well, from Washington You're more important than the others Personal freedom's too much fun The mask is too confining You would rather catch the vid Pass it to your ailing parents Maybe even to your kid If you think corona virus Will never ever come your way Violate the space of others They may even make your day Maybe they will cough or sneeze In your face without a mask If they, as you, aren't wearing one You don't even have to ask Rub your hands on every surface Touch your mouth and rub your eyes You may even learn a lesson From the leaders you despise Don't wash your hands or wear a mask Don't distance, sneeze and drool Blame others if you catch it When, in truth, you were the fool.
