Looks like some major companies have decided to pick up the slack
Dealing with the vaccine requirements that some employees sorely lack
They have taken up the initiative to require them to take their shot
Some retail outlets are requiring proof to enter whether you like it or not
As the Corona Virus waves go, we are now up to number four
Will we ever get to the point where we don’t have to count anymore?
The facts about all of this is out there plain and clear
The longer it lasts, the more we have to fear
They are now instructing social media to monitor their sites
It seems that many people can’t distinguish wrong from right
I can see how easily baffled you could be after surfing on the net
The more time you spend researching, the more confused you will get
Then if you turn on your television to watch a news station
Depending on the source, it can just add up to more aggravation
The trouble is it’s become political on either side of our border
Between our two nations, we can’t seem to get anything in order
Instead of ridding us of the virus, which should be our primary goal
They are more concerned with the latest popular poll
Now Canada is allowing Americans to enter upon our land
While the United States is closed to us, I just don’t understand
It’s not that I have any desire to wander south to visit there
I just think there shouldn’t be any coming and going anywhere
I look at Australia that has been aggressive right from the start
They shut down most of the country because the Delta virus was starting to chart
Being a country as well as an entire continent all in one
Is the reason they can get all of these things done
They have had thirty two thousand infections and nine hundred fifteen people have died
A five week shutdown to the city of Sydney was also applied
They haven’t pulled any punches and have managed to keep up the pace
The majority of the world has handled it with disgrace
So in our situation, perhaps we should let the companies and retailers handle the show
Let the government issue us our proofs of inoculations to be shown wherever we go
This way the politicians can’t try to win by choosing a side
The people of our nation will now have six more weeks to decide
Reward all those people who have taken their second shot
Those who abstain perhaps will give it a second thought
If you require a license to be allowed to drive
Why not issue one, because it might help us all to survive
