This Is a Public Service Announcement ~ Thursday, December 3, 2020

Because you took everything for granted
evidently you needed me to come
cause havoc and mayhem on my visit
and leave everyone touched, disenchanted,
unsure about the future or the past,
silly me, I saw the alarm, how dumb,
evidently, you thought I gave a shit.

You imagined I came to help you out,
obviously, with me, nothing can last,
ugly as I seem, check out the mirror.

Tragic, my appearance, the destruction
ordinary people watch in terror,
of course, if you can't survive infection,
kiss the cruel world goodbye, up the whale's spout.

Ending up doing backflips into space,
very surprised to find yourself up here,
exiting in a spectacular way,
really better than dying in disgrace,
your ass exposed for all to see, the air
travels slowly to your lungs as you fear,
how a ventilator, just for today,
indeed saves your miserable life for now,
no one comes to visit you from nowhere,
granted they can't, but I did, and how. How?

Forsaken by family and friends who cry,
of course, they're sad you're gone, they could go, too,
remember them whichever way you go.

Go, now that you are gone, how could you die,
really, you chose to embrace your own death,
as for me, a deadly virus, I knew
no one could outrun me, I am their foe,
tremendous is my strength, longevity,
endurance is beauty, with your last breath
decidedly, I mourn your brevity.
