So I am not a happy camper here and now;
And there are succinct reasons for it, I avow.
You know we are three hundred million strong;
We do have accolades galore which do belong
Where we, in any need, in any crisis, stand
As one–ready, willing, meeting the demand.
But there is always that percentage which do not,
Who seemingly ignore all that is being fought.
Of course, if things go wrong, they are the first to whine,
Or when rewards are being issued, first in line.
In a pandemic, like the one we now are in,
In truth, has no determination we would win.
So safeguards are mandated, meaning everyone;
But only good if it’s obeyed, when said and done.
That small percentage, then throws safeguards up for grabs;
Expanding incubation spans to futile stabs.
So if you are the one percent or less, hear this:
I hope the part you played in this will not be missed!
