I just arrived at home from our local mall after receiving inoculation number three
The line that was formed was as far as you could see
It was the booster shot that all the experts recommend
Will this Covid merry go round ever come to an end?
The vast majority of us are all trying in vain
To eliminate this virus and finally get off this train
Even though most of us have done what we should do
We are now experiencing another case of deja vu
All because some people just refuse to get their shot
While the rest of us are giving it all that we got
We have transitioned from Delta now to Omicron
How many more mutations before we can finally say it’s gone?
More unvaccinated people will be affected as a result
This ounce of prevention to them is considered an insult
This new virus is more contagious than the previous version
These anti vaxers will continue on with their aversions
Refusing to cooperate and not giving in
Seems we are in a battle that we may never win
This plague will feast on those ones that continue to abstain
This group continues to be whittled down, but they will never gain
The emergency rooms will be flooded by those affected once more
The casualties will be tabulated and added to the score
Schools will be closed and our freedoms will be affected
It’s happened so often now, we all know what is to be expected
The reset button is once again pressed to repeat
Time to get our hopes amped up and then fall in defeat
How many more cycles will we have to experience along the way?
Will this be a lifestyle that we will be forced to play?
The theory is that when we get the percentages up we will be in the clear
Reaching this targeted goal has been harder than it would appear
With all the kids now on board, are we getting close?
We have to persuade this no needle group to take their dose
The idea that this could happen, to me, seems totally absurd
How are we going to convince them to take the second and third?
Restrictions are now being put in place, we all know the drill
A few may give in, but not that many will
We are on opposite ends of this issue, there can be no debate
The only thing we can agree on is that we are tired of the wait
