Wear a Mask

Now we all know it's right to wear a mask,
It is no burden, just a pesky task.
So wear a mask.

Now most of us believe the golden rule
And wearing masks is just another tool,
So wear a mask.

We all have rights and freedoms, I agree,
But yours must stop when you endanger me!
So wear a mask.

Some politicians, at the top, refuse,
A few fell ill, I'm sure you've heard the news.
So wear a mask.

Rejecting science is no game to play,
It shows one's ignorance in every way.
So wear a mask.

To take advice from 'crazies' on the Net,
Is not informed, it's just a stupid bet.
So wear a mask.

To all the mask-less martyrs I implore:
Just wear a mask when you go out your door.
Please wear a mask

Hi Tom, I agree, we all should wear a mask when we go outside. Rights? Why even go there? COVID-19 is no joke. And it’s real. A family member of mines contracted it, by the grace of god they’re still in the land of the living. Take care. Have a great day and weekend- Alexis

Pivotal is: We all have rights and freedoms, I agree, But yours must stop when you endanger me! God bless and be safe!
