.The Viruses They Are A-Changin’

A poem 

By J.F.

You people who gather in big angry mobs

Go back to your homes, go back to your jobs

The mutants are spreadin’ much worse than before

If your lives to you are worth savin’

Then you better start vaxxin’ and maskin’ some more

For the viruses they are a-changin’

Those media types, who blab with false words

So keep your eyes wide, and steer clear of those turds

For you gotta speak up, or fade into the din

And there’s no tellin’ who might be listenin’ in

For the pro-vaxxer now will be later to win

For the viruses they are a-changin’

Come senators, congressmen get off your duff

Please spring into action, enough is enough

The world needs your help, but your house is so broke

The variants outside are ragin’

Do something right now or your jobs we’ll revoke

For the viruses they are a-changin’

Come mothers and fathers, save your daughters and sons

The virus will kill, but it don’t need no guns

Do what you have to, to fight the new strains

It seems like we’re rapidly agin’

Time’s runnin’ out as we still make some gains

For the viruses they are a-changin’

Watch ev-o-lu-tion, now play its game

Smart ones will live and the weak will be lame

If we all work together with no one to blame

Pandemics will surely be vanquished

Just a little while longer, it’ll be on the wane

For the viruses they are a-changin.’

J.F. lives in Novato and is a retired scientist who cares very deeply for his two granddaughters and the kind of world they will inherit in the future.
