Fight Corona

Why stay home  like cowards
how can police and nurses
save weak men and women in masks
why should governments  do everything
for weak lazy morons like us.

Come out let us go to our fields
let factory chimneys exit smoke
labs, offices, schools and shops
run with  the fury of life
meet humans, dance and sing
blow the conch, beat drums
resound the skies.

Defy this tiny killer,
yes- a few have died
and will die, but if human
sacrifice is the ultimate,
so be it: let's join hands with
the covid fighters,
let's die to live  again and grow
let's not cow down and howl
like trapped animals in a cage.
