American Negation

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES



American Negation

We are told not to gather in groups
We are told not to get too close
We are told not to touch our faces
So naturally we can think of nothing else

We are Americans
We do as we please
We travel our own paths
We proclaim our defiance
In bold proud terms

We will not be told what to do
We will not be commanded
We will not be informed
We will not be demanded

We do not believe in experts
We do not believe in science
We define our own existence
We make our own rules

Even if it kills us
Or our grandparents
