RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
Danger Zone
Hundreds gathered onto the South Lawn
Of the peoples house
For the president’s big night
Hundreds flaunted their recklessness
Daring the virus to strike them down
Talking in close quarters
Cheering embracing shaking hands
Like madmen at the devil’s ball
Like lambs for the slaughter
What folly is this?
The sheer brazenness of their defiance
Is this the face of courage?
Is it brave to walk the ledge
Of a nine story building?
Shall we cry for those who fall?
Shall we mourn their loss?
Shall we salute them
And give testament
That they died for their beliefs?
That they died for their beloved leader?
Or shall we shake our heads in shame?
