It Ain't Over

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES



It Ain’t Over

You can’t end a war with a fantasy
You can’t tell a virus to cease and desist
You can’t halt death with a snap of your fingers
You can’t stop a storm with a wish

Did you think it would all disappear
If you said there was nothing to fear?
Did you believe it would go away
If you commanded it not to stay?

When we were bright eyed kids
And the world was ours to declare
We could pick up our marbles and leave
If we thought the game wasn’t fair

But those days are forever gone
We now face the fate we’ve earned
When we pour fuel on a fire
We know we will get burned

You can’t stop the sun from rising
You can’t stop the sea with a prayer
You can’t stop an eagle from flying
You can’t stop disease with a dare

It ain’t over till it’s over
