RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
The Bridge
You’re young and healthy
(at least you think you are)
If you believe you can jump off a bridge
Without harm to yourself or others
I’m fine with that
Live free or die
Do what you will
Go your own way
Dance to your own music
But don’t go berserk
If I won’t do the same
Your freedom does not include
The right to bully me
Your rights do not trump mine
I must admit the fact that you endanger
Others with your recklessness
Bothers me
It drills into my consciousness
And triggers my rejection
Do unto others is my creed
(I thought it was yours)
I thought we were all in this together
Until we weren’t
So go ahead
Jump off that bridge
Just don’t take anyone with you
