The Mind Virus Vaccine
(for Gad)
The Saad truth is the Woke Mind Virus
Has now spread far and wide
Across all demographics,
Although it’s clearly concentrated in some
More than others.
But as the good doctor also makes clear
There is a vaccine for this virus.
And it’s a bit like the 12 Step Program
Beginning with acknowledgment
Of one’s own Illness, infection,
And habituation to the doom and gloom
Of Woke’s existential dread.
And then what?
Well, whatever and however many
Steps you choose to do next
With honesty, integrity, courage
Humor and joy,
And, oh yes, don’t forget play.
