Notes About The Poem

We the People can defeat anything, when we work together to claim victory.

Today is Independence Day
July fourth, twenty twenty
Covid nineteen is still with us
I'll not coat these times with honey

Social distancing suggested
Part of Corona Virus task
Don't rub your eyes with unwashed hands
When going out, please wear a mask

Just a little inconvenience
As you go throughout the day
With nose and mouth all covered up
You must project the words you say

Put optimism in your speech
Behind your mask should be a grin
Keep on smiling with your eyes
Facing this battle we are in

We're in an epidemic war
With an unseen enemy
Our weapons are described above
Remember freedom isn't free

We did not volunteer for this
But should all join in the fight
Marching, together, through this thing, 
To come again to freedom's light
