Take Advice Or Pay The Price

In difficult times, we should care for each other
Husband, wife, children, father and mother
Look out for our neighbours, don’t put them in danger.
Think of the safety of each friend and stranger.
It’s like being on a battlefield when bullets are flying
You can’t see them coming, though comrades are dying.
Just like this virus propelled by a sneeze
Or a careless cough it’s a deadly breeze.
For some it’s a hoax, or some devious trick
To control all their lives - until they get sick.
Then the reality comes home to roost.
They plead for some wonderful immunity boost
“My life is important, please save it for me
Lying here dying isn’t where I should be.
It can’t be that virus I said didn’t exist
Caught from somebody I randomly kissed,
When shouting and waving my banner in the street.
I thought it was clever and fine to all meet,”
But Covid doesn’t care about what we believe
It’s not some conspiracy designed to deceive
It destroys any one of us, unless we take care’
So, conspiracy believers and marchers beware
You could be next for the plague to strike down
Crying and dying in a surgical gown.
Wishing you’d listened and taken advice
Instead of paying this ultimate price.
