Our country will come back
We just do not know when
In the meantime there are opinions
Many have them and express them
A great many just follow the rules
They are not happy but understand
Avoid crowds, safe spacing, and wash hands
Wear masks and be considerate
Demonstrations are put offs
Seem to do more harm than good
Citizens feel they have the rights
So we have a sequence of protests
We are in this for over two months
More time is needed to make conclusions
People understand all of the reaching out
Laboratories are working on cures
We are a weary society
We want to get back to work
This is a normal response
A sign of maturity which is good to see
This is happening to us and
Now we have an idea of disaster
It is easy to close our eyes
To worldwide needs of others
A trillion dollars is a lot of money
Politicians love getting their hands on it
A beautiful opportunity for paybacks
Do we want to take taxpayers money?
Then use it to bailout states which misused
Money that was to fund retirement benefits
People have the right to vote, but
Keep choosing the abusers
Budgets must be balanced each year
We cannot tolerate mismanagement
Efficiency must be employed so
New crises can be met without panic
No more handouts or failed infrastructure
We are on notice; it is time to act
