Unapologetically Us

excitement simmers
life feels lifeless
our world dominated
by a pandemic
days trickle
restricted by COVID
good morning America
COVID this
COVID that
six feet apart!
do as we say or
face unemployment
inject this into your body
wait not that
go to rehab tweaker
politicians
drive irreparable spears through Americans
their focus tunneled
votes, popularity, clout, greed
sit at the end of that tunnel
unity, representation, truthfulness
not in view
red or blue
should not divide
as we all bleed
red, white, and blue
