Pandemerica...

Pandemerica... 

Solidarity,
Fissures,
Facts,
Fakes,
In the end it's what it takes.

Survival with a smile,
Breaking down into tears and laughing,
Manic by mandate,
Some get high on love,
Some get high on hate.

Fear,
Hope,
Dread and take-out,
The whole world gone virtual,
Like the scientists theorize,
Our lives happen in a hologram.

Washing,
Washing,
Raw-hand washing,
The wrinkled fingers of karmic fate,
Singing songs of masked heroes.

We're all the lone ranger now.

Anti-social distancing games,
Love from a distance,
So strange now,
A month ago,
It was hands you'd shake.

If you can sew,
Don't sow paranoia,
Be a good citizen before it kills you to,
This isn't forever,
But it'll be awhile.

Essentials work like dogs,
The rest bored and restless,
This pandemic dichotomy,
Might be the biggest killer of all,
So says the masked distancer,
Sword high over a TP roll.
