Unmasked
Unmasked ©Pollyana Darrell 2020/06/01
Spiked fuzzy tennis ball
From where did you crawl?
Who told you to call?
Your presence brought brawl
Nothing could stop you at all-
Not even a wall!
Microscopic invader-
Jeopardizing our safety
Insisting on physical distancing
We put up resistance to your existence
Your persistence over run our self-subsistence.
Stealth bomber-
Invisible and deadly
We did not recognize you readily
While speedily and steadily you attacked us
Ravaging our bodies and economies
Leaving some to die alone and in ignominy.
Now you have been unmasked!
Though we wear the mask
We see you-
Marauder-
In quest of plunder.
Move on fear monger
No more her wander.
We will stay the course
Be patient; social distancing en-force
There is no recourse;
Wear our masks until you have passed and
We will be free at last!
