‘Tis Of Thee

Covid’s the canary in the coalmine,

opened up our eyes that things are not fine.
Things got out of hand and paralyzed the land.
Emergency responders were our front line.
Then, of course, we opened way too soon,
to appease this economic goon.
He said throw out your masks, and they do what he asks.
The truth is that the virus didn’t swoon.
And then there came the kneeling of the cop.
The t.v. murder blew the nation’s top.
There’s people in the street who will not take a seat
until they see this racial hatred stop.
We finally got the cause that we deserve,
and now’s perhaps the last chance to show nerve.
We cannot let this settle back into the same old kettle.
America, our path must take a curve.
If people take their message to the street,
things might get really hot in summer heat.
Stay strong and don’t back down, the leader is a clown.
This chance for change may not see a repeat.
