A-Men

Now we all shall die in homes entombed.

While lawns at Mar-a-Lago are still groomed.
Ivanka makes designer purses,
unavailable to nurses.
Those who’d save us do so at their risk.
This is even worse than stop-and-frisk.
Three weeks we should stay inside,
getting news of those who’ve died.
This is truly genuine March madness.
Only betting numbers are on sadness.
No more movies, sports or closing nights.
Older folks in toilet paper fights.
Families getting last gas fills,
ready to head to the hills.
Running market aisles like ferrets,
scrambling for lettuce, carrots.
Only parties are on Skype.
They would seem a desperate type.
In this home, the cats are kings.
They’ll eat us when we get wings.
