It was the best of times, then perhaps the worst,
A Hollywood-style dystopian earth.
Zoom from home, long isolated days,
All in, no out, universal malaise.
Temporary protocols to “flatten the curve”
Offered as the “new normal” with vigor and verve.
Stay six feet apart whether indoors or out.
Sanitize those hands, mask that snout.
Trump’s “Warp speed” got us the shot,
Biden said, “Take it whether you want to or not.”
The data were mixed just asked most scientists,
But hold all questions on how strong the science is.
Just two shots and you were “vaxxed,”
Protected from the spread, but then came the facts.
It just didn’t work. A booster is needed,
Ask Pfizer, ask Moderna, you must be treated.
We humans like to think that we have the final word,
But Mother Nature’s the one that immunized the herd,
For virtually nothing, we shut down our nation,
We should’ve heeded the Great Barrington Declaration.
So, to all you Elites, “What the heck?”
Expect a few questions, not a genuflect,
You can be wrong, believe it or not,
Humility’s the medicine, take the shot.
“Thanks” to those who played the foil,
Blackballed, black-listed, unrecognized toil,
It wasn’t fair to you and it wasn’t fair to us.
Stay humble, stay righteous, and keep the trust.
