Omicron Is On The Loose

 

Omicron Is On The Loose

©by Bud Lemire on Jan 12, 2022

Many times, I wish that we could hide away

From the nasty virus, that is around today

Maybe on an Island somewhere, where it will not find me

Until this is all over, but that might take an eternity

It's not a matter of if you get it, it's a matter of when you do

That's what the news is saying, I wonder if it will come true

I hide in my apartment, but I need to come out sometime

At the grocery store, I look around as I stand in line

People are getting it, when they've done everything they possibly can

I do my best to use caution, but will it be enough for this man

Those N95 mask we are suppose to wear, sure do fit so tight

They are ones we need to use, when we are near people, day and night

I sit here also thinking, of those who are so deep in fear

This is a time of support, to help those who are here

Others walk around without masks, thinking they are safe from it

I think they heard so many lies, they believe someone's full of shit

Then there are those, who think a cloth mask will keep it away

The N95 aren't cheap, but it's the best protection every day

I don't have all the answers, many are as confused as me

On what we should believe, and what the future will be

Oh, another hundred people, got Omicron today

Is what I keep hearing, the news had to say

Use every caution, with the virus in the air

Because Omicron is on loose, and it's everywhere

I must admit, that my anxiety keeps popping up.

Sure, many can stay relaxed. For me this bad

news is overwhelming. I must fight every day

to stay calm and get through it.
