Social distancing.
A deadly pathogen spreads like infestation.
Is anyone listening?
Electric fences bickering.
First prison security measure is always isolation.
Social distancing.
Condolences heard in the whispering
of over one hundred fifty thousand in our nation.
Is anyone listening?
Nurses with cotton swabs not tickling,
And iron bars locked twenty-four hours on the plantation.
Social distancing.
Man down while offenders are snickering.
The elderly can’t scream for infection invasion.
Is anyone listening?
Governors hedging with elections glistening.
While the death toll rises, the ledgers are erasing.
Social distancing.
Is anyone listening?
