Take Up Arms Defeat Covid 19 Poem by Terence George Craddock

fear attains the ability to enslave
even when dwelling upon thoughts irrational
even in chain irrational thoughts imprisonment
irrational thought imprisonment is choking real
inhibiting life quality joy in chance daily pleasures

yes you could go out into garden
get stung by a bee at exactly 3.47 p.m.
on a Friday but chances are infinitesimal
yes you could be struck by a meteor in bed
while sleeping killed at 1.23 a.m. Monday morning

but these are irrational fears
why bother with irrational fears
yes you might catch COVID 19
you are more likely to traditional killer die
over 60 million a year die of top 10 killers

heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infections,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,
trachea, bronchus, and lung cancers,
diabetes mellitus,
Alzheimer's disease and other dementias,

dehydration due to diarrheal diseases
tuberculosis, cirrhosis
oh your suddenly afraid of these diseases
you were not afraid before fixated
on COVID 19 COVID 19 COVID 19

you even forgot home accidents kill
car accidents kill snakes bugs wild animals kill
but your fixated on media induced fear
the media drum drum drumming COVID 19
