What Covid Has Proved To Me
What covid has proved to me,
Is that too many rights could be?
What set covid free,
To do harm to you and me.
Too many rights for me,
Could make me a danger to thee,
When there is a time for me,
To think of how to save thee,
Without giving up rights given to me,
By thee.
Too many rights for you and me,
Makes living long enough to be free,
Difficult for those under three,
When the need to see,
Something bigger than just you and me,
Is the only thing that will save thee,
And give hope for more than just me.
The only right that you and me,
Should agree is more than just for you and me
That should stay with you and me,
Regardless of what the situation might be,
Is the right to be
Treated by the powers that be,
In a way that gives hope to you and me,
That what they put on the screen for you and me,
Will not shorten life for you and me,
Is what will leave us free,
To believe they know what rights will not keep us free,
So, when asserting our rights, we will not be too free.
