The summer season is almost over, school starts next week
This Covid 19 virus is approaching another peak
Provinces have come up with their own personal scheme
They have set their agendas, at least that’s the way it would seem
Yet the virus is the same no matter where you go
Why aren’t we all on the same page? I’d really like to know
Masks are required almost everywhere
Others are free to roam without a care
So thanks to everyone’s ignorance and insisting on doing things their way
This virus has continued its evolution and appears it’s here to stay
Now that we are about to send our children back to the classroom to learn
This would be the time for all of us to show them some concern
This pandemic is no longer just an affliction for the older folk
We have to show some fortitude and not consider this a joke
The people who are the most vulnerable are the ones who are in denial
Maybe they will come around since the remedy has passed the FDA trial
These same people are responsible for allowing this virus to thrive
Predictions are by year’s end another hundred thousand Americans won’t survive
These are the most susceptible because they refuse to get a shot
Fighting it tooth and nail with everything they got
This pandemic is not particular to any demographic at all
Whether you want to inoculate is still your personal call
Children are now exposed and can be infected too
Attending class without protection is what some Provinces have chosen to do
Then you have the teachers and the working staff added to this equation
Gives some indication on how badly we are failing as a nation
People who are double vaccinated are contracting it again
The reason being that this Covid 19 is getting stronger with each new strain
As long as we sit back and let this plague proceed in this way
It will continually evolve with each and every day
Our leaders prefer to cater to the groups that complain
That is why we continue to lose ground and never seem to gain
We are supposed to learn from our mistakes and try to make amends
Those in the wrong are the ones they seem to defend
Here is the scoop people, the vaccine is the closest thing we have to a cure
Ignoring all the health experts is the wrong path to take that’s for sure
Innocent children are now at stake and some of their lives will be on the line
Those that have been immunized should all come out fine
Choosing to be six feet apart and masked is not the lifestyle that I want to choose
As long as there are enough abstainers, then all of us are going to lose
I don’t know if we will ever get to the point where we feel safe and sound
As far as the gamblers go, I hope most of you will still be around
