A Race Against Time

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES

Race Against Time

 

It is not a war

With bullets and guns

It is not an enemy

Of any kind

As the virus evolves

It may render us blind

It may steal our resolve

It’s a race against time

 

We have the vaccines

That protect us for now

But as the mutants take hold

We may not know how

To protect us tomorrow

And on down the line

It’s a long hard road

It’s a race against time

 

We know what to do

We know how it’s done

It will not be easy

And it will not be fun

But we have no choice

We’re caught in a bind

To survive this virus

It’s a race against time

 

So line up in your cities

Line up in your towns

Take your shot in the arm

When your turn comes around

For now we’re not worried

We’re feeling just fine

But tomorrow’s in question

It’s a race against time
