The way states treat kids is reflective of the shits they give.
As Covid rages
Look to how states treated schools
No masks for the kids?
No testing in place?
The government doesn’t care
About the children
Which also will mean
That they won’t care about you
When you need their help
Special session called
For vaccine requirements.
In large companies
It’s ridiculous
800,000 are dead
Yet, we still argue.
About whether jobs
should require employees
to get the vaccine.
The answer, is yes!
Your “freedom” shouldn’t kill me
Or my grandmother.
Another Christmas
Another new year has passed
And yet, here we are.
And rising
800,000
The number of people lost
In the pandemic
Double World War Two
Almost triple World War One
These are civilians
Selfishness led here
American pride and greed
Is this “real” freedom?
We are held captive
Capitalism brought down
Because a virus
And…of course…because
Some refuse to help others
…get vaccinated.
A poem based on this article.
Having kids is hard
Difficult on both parents
Sleepless nights…and days
All bleed together
A cacophony of stress
That saps energy
Babies, though, are great
With chubby cheeks and fat feet
But…we’re still tired
Four weeks? Laughable
Healing takes longer than that
Both emotional
And then physical
For a country so obsessed
With the birth of babes
It should be easy
To both have a baby and
Have time with baby.
Children over Five
Can now get vaccinated
Covid is still here
And there is a solution
It’s…vaccination
The pandemic has
Impacted children so much
See, for example:
Schools with rolling qurantines
And anxiety
To “save the children”
We must vaccinate children
Like…we’ve been doing
That’s why we don’t have
Polio and Chicken Pox
So, let’s do this friends!
