Perilous Protests

Careless protesters gather together

In cities across the United States,

Criticizing stay-at-home orders

And thumbing their noses at the Fates.

 

Unmasked demonstrators stand

Only two or three feet apart,

Indicating a lack of caution

And showing us they are NOT being smart.

 

It doesn't help when the president

Encourages foolish behavior. What's more,

Far-right militia thugs show up

And look as though they're waging war.

 

Nobody cherishes not being able

To socialize with family and friends.

All of us look forward to

The day that social distancing ends.

 

Everybody wants to get

Back to normal as soon as we can.

But to do it we need to have

A thoughtful, safe, reliable plan--

 

A plan assembled by experts for whom

Saving lives is the main goal

In order to help us back on our feet

While getting the virus under control.

 

Ignorance is a poor companion.

When life throws us a wild curve ball,

Remember: people's stupid behavior

Endangers not only them but us all.
