Safe II

My old friend
Tells me I am prime
To catch the coronavirus
And I agree though I think I had
It in mid March a sore throat heavy
Feeling in the chest fatigue which
Took two weeks to fully recover
From but now what is the plan
For the future or are we to
Hide away if we can and
Use masks to shop but
Not eating out and for
Those who must be
Exposed working
With the public
Are we really
To have no
New Deal
To help
Them?
How
Long can
We put off
All the things
We need to do
In life like school
For kids work for us
And popcorn at the movies
Until we can believe some vaccine
Has made us all safe to breath
The air on planes ships trams
Subways buses trains movies
Classrooms elevators lunch
Rooms and all the places
We congregate even on
Thanksgiving and what
Will be the cost in life
Versus the quality
Of life as doctors
Care more for
Preserving
Life than
The life
Quality
Of living
Day-to-day.
For the most
Part what groups
By age and health will
Be most affected by COVID-19?
Children with their life before
Them or the elderly with
Their life behind them
Or adults 20s to 60s
Who are in their
Prime of life?
The well or
The ill and
Fat and
Is this
Game
Worth
The candle?
Is waiting for the
Vaccine like waiting
For Godot and will
Some vaccine be
Any better than
The faulty virus
Tests we have
Right now or
Worse or
Even
Safe?
