The New V

I’m too crazy to be lazy 
Or is it to lazy to be crazy?
Something I shall ponder 
But for now, I will just wonder 
With the thought of why 
When I see the lady next to me 
Wearing her mask alone in her car
With thoughts of COVID not being far 
Submit and obey the fear
There’s a new lovely variant near
Even more deadly than the last
Makes the old Covid look lame 
So, stand fast 
We got more “dark days” ahead 
Here take your vaccine and go to back to bed 
We’re cooking up more fear for you to dread 
This intense distraction is simply designed 
To illicit a reaction 
And keep us a fraction 
Of what we used to be 
Strong, United and most of all… Free
“Never let a crisis go to waste” was once said 
A fitting epitaph for the masses of braindead  
Eagerly awaiting more gloom and doom 
While they cower in a “Covid safe” room 
Sucking up the news of submit and obey 
Guess what? You get to live another day 
Because your safe and do what we say 
LOL 

Eric (and sometimes not)
