Whatever restrictions are announced today by the Health Department, it’s almost a guarantee that it won’t hurt big corporations. Local restaurants will suffer, but McDonalds will be just fine.

This is being done for our own good, right? Just like our well-intentioned military went to Vietnam to save villages from communism by destroying them, local businesses will be saved from the Coronavirus.

Since this pandemic is the only thing that matters anymore, I composed a poem to convey this reality.

you can die from suicide
just protect me from the Covid
you can die from homicide
just protect me from the Covid

you can starve and you can cry
get beaten up with two black eyes
but to say I care would be a lie
just protect me from the Covid

where's your mask you alt-right ass?
I'll fever rage for Covid
you better vote for Joe and hope
cause he'll vanquish evil Covid

you can stock up to survive
form militias, mobilize
but number-crunchers with vaccine eyes
will save us from the Covid

so we wait with patient faith
for salvation from the Covid
the state knows best how to invest
for this war against the Covid

you can protest, flags on trucks
mattress-hording dirty bucks, but
you know we DON'T GIVE A FUCK...
until you catch the Covid
