I came, I saw, I puncturedA Poem by Maxwell Ryder
I came, I saw, I punctured.
I took my myocarditis Like a champ; Even had the booster, But got vaccine-injured, So I took another two - Because “f*ck you!” What else could I do, I wore a mask; I stayed at home, Like every other tool; It wasn’t my decision to choose. I did what everyone with a brain Would do - I yelled, “Me too!” Why not, that Fat Orange man Made every lady and Mexican Mad across the land; I had to hop on that bandwagon, There was a gun against My head, screaming: “Fascist!” “Science!” “Russian!” “You must hate the Jews.” And every full-throated misery You could think of, you see, In a coordinated conspiracy To “Love Thy Neighbor” At all cost to me and my views, Including checkpoints, Border closures, And curfews! Life kind of felt like the Gulag But with Netflix, the Internet, And the warmth of gas, Which now we won’t have, Thanks to “you-know-who” © 2022 Maxwell Ryder |
