What happened? March and April are gone May is here and still There is no song No song to sing That will lift us up Until we survive this thing Being treated like pups Swamp people declare New information daily Nomenclature of death Changes by decree Stay socially distanced Until we cannot see How long does the virus live Does it vary depending? And worse than the flu? People are ready to Tear down all barriers Follow simple, logical rules Get back to work Stir the economy Safe guard who we can But people die every day From accidents to heart attacks Does it matter which way We hate to lose anyone But this is life Time to jump back in Back on the tracks We all have our battles Illegals too They must go back See what they can do To improve the degree Of their own condition Our people, too You just can’t send money We must control it To the last penny, then Economies will improve People can stand alone Dictators need eradication Citizens need a safe home The heart and mind must Exist side by side Decisions made then are just Have merit and will last Critics shrink back as Truth makes a stand Preparation is the goal Safeguard this land Be ready and willing Bring out the band Generations before us Suffered through their pain Food lines, depressions and war They survived as can we Let us unleash our instincts In a law-abiding way We are the people Give us our say Not foolish, but headstrong Get out of the way Stanski April 29, 2020 ^
