Banning COVID-19

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES



Banning COVID-19

They banned the virus in Nashville
Wherever music is played
A virus cannot exist in the city
Where the stars of country are made

They passed a law in Austin
Demanding cease and desist
In a place where artists thrive
No deadly virus can exist

They declared an end in Tallahassee
By virtue of decree
The corona will not persist
Past the date June 23

We mourn our foolish friends
For not believing what all could see
The virus cannot be banned
Or somehow waved into the sea

We know good people everywhere
Do not deserve what comes their way
Because their leaders discarded science
And let the silent killer stay
