Why oh why has the pathogen’s pitiless surge
Been utterly unable to exorcise / purge
Evil prejudiced cops’ / mass murderers’ urge
To vie with a virus; be party to slaughtering splurge
Mourners envision their victims; their march heavenward / merge
Blood splattered crime scenes they leave; leave us to regurge
Meanwhile, tough laws, unwritten, won’t be on enactment’s verge
‘Mazing Grace / Going Home; vie for Billboard’s chart topping dirge

Stay Publicly / Properly Masked!
Stay Safe at Home!
Stay Healthy!
