Yesterday's Panic
So they told us to all lock down,
and stay inside for months on end.
They savaged the economy,
I guess that it was all pretend
since now thousands of snowflakes are
rioting in such massive groups...
Maybe Corona doesn’t hurt
human beings when they want to loot?
The media that chastised us
for wanting to reopen doors,
now venerates these rioters
even declares we should see more.
More people shot, more windows smashed,
more madness spread in our cities,
it’s funny how they changed so fast,
forgot that whole Chinese disease.
And all of the same leftist types
who fought to keep their states closed off,
now cheer-lead mobs roaming the streets,
and terrorizing every block.
No thought of if the pandemic
might resurge because of all this,
I guess that was yesterday’s panic,
now up to terrorists they kiss.
I guess this should teach all of us,
don’t listen to what they may tell,
they just chase what brings them power,
even if it brings us all hell.
Maybe we should bring it to them as well.
