The COVID Crazies

THE COVID CRAZIES

I am

crazy

like a loon.

I feel my

freedom eroding

like the banks

of a rain swollen river.

Yet

I have the freedom

to be

anything I choose,

anywhere I choose,

and

do anything I choose.

But

the push me, pull me

now I can,

now I can’t,

of these restrictions

drives me

loony.

The politicians tell me

they have my

best interests at heart.

But

is that bull shit,

sweet words whispered

to make me complaint

and their job

so much easier.

These are

the COVID Crazies.

These are a sign

of the times.

And, I have them

and they have me,

Captured, Convicted, Convinced.
