With the grim news
A million COVID deaths
In the US hit the news

I felt again
A sense of sadness
Melancholy moods
the COVID pandemic blues
never left us

feeling so sad
feeling so bad
yes, feeling so mad

during the last few years
every day another sad milestone
as more people succumbed

to General Corona
and his relentless virus bot army
scouring the world
looking for unvaccinated
the unmasked to attack.

yet the solution has always been
everyone needs to be vaccinated
and boosted
still need to mask up indoors
still need to be careful.

governments still need to pay
for massive testing, and vaccines
that is not going away.

And the rest of the world
Needs to be vaccinated too
Can't just be a rich country's problem.

We are in it together
All of us
And we need to our part

Together
We shall defeat
General Corona
And his evil army.
