RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
Woah Canada!
We think of you as our weaker
but more sophisticated sibling
Canada: Land of the educated
Land of the enlightened
Land of the peaceful and kind
We are shocked to see thousands
gathered on the streets of Ottawa
bearing swastikas and yelling obscenities
urinating and spewing degrading epithets
taking a stand against vaccination
We have long considered our northern friends
a kinder gentler more civilized breed
Have we infected you with our crudeness?
Have we implanted a hateful seed?
Woah Canada! Please say it ain’t so
You have not joined in the crazy race
taking sides with the spread of disease
losing touch with civility and grace
We need your sane and steady hand
We need your reasoned sanity
to calm our sometimes frenzied madness
to counter our wayward vanity
