Thoughts on contending with coronavirus

 

We the People By Franklin Price 03/20/2020 We the people of this great USA Are facing Coronavirus today Coming together by staying away Stops the transmission, holds infection at bay If you must go to obtain any needs Wash your hands often, that's where virus breeds Cough in your elbow, keep it contained Shaking hands with another, should now be refrained Believe in the system, it still is the same Must adapt to conditions, to play a smart game This is not Armageddon, matters not what you think This is not the Titanic, going down in the drink The stock market's falling, investors not cool Profit takers, not smart, and are playing the fool To sell in abandon, drives the whole market down You hurt the economy, and look like a clown Money's not all, it is not everything To trade without thinking, a depression will bring Will hurt this great country, it may even fall To trade on a virus, is not smart at all This could be the black plague, if we tried to ignore Won't be very long, we can open the door Return to what's normal, for you and for me Just have some patience, and soon you will see I could go on further, but this is the gist Think for yourself, of the things I have missed The tunnel's not dark, there is light at the end Be smart in your thinking and actions my friend If you appreciate what this has to say, please get it around to everyone you know, by any means you have available to you. We, the USA, and the world, need to work together to get through this without crashing everything.
