What Is Your Preference?

 

 

Mask or ventilator?

To breathe or convulse?

Topside or the beyond?

Pulse or no pulse?

 

Hugs bring flowery shrubs

Kissing then missing,

It’s your life and your family’s

You are blatantly risking.

 

Protocols or death call?

Safety or danger?

Hibernate or eliminate?

The late or a stranger?

 

 

What is your preference?

COVID doesn’t care

Whether you are suicidal

Or acting out of fear.

 

Prolife or pro-death?

A restful sleep or fitful?

Eliminate risks or encourage?

COVID-free or a lull?

 

Whatever your preference

You will act on it

And COVID will stay with us

Or take its exit.

 

 

Behaviour is discernible

It reflects choice,

Listen to your conscience

It’s the right voice.

 

What is your preference?

Your family cares,

Stop feeding COVID

And chase it from here!
