Covid-19 left me wondering
what’s worth more
being authentically me
living the dream to educate
or debate sitting in place
so I wouldn’t catch a case
spread a deadly fate
to those I relate to
risk my life just for the sake of
learning, the world is burning with
split decisions that’s sending
people on a race against human
skin color does not relate
to the hate that’s being injected with fear
and I hear, I’m labeled essential now
gear up against an enemy playing guerrilla warfare
and I’m aware of what’s needed
that a vaccine or quarantine can’t guarantee
put simply, choice is a matter of control
and the only thing I have that totally over is me,
so while the rush is on for some
to have teachers on the front-line
I’ll remind those that the bigger picture
is not what it’s made to seem
guess when focus is on selfish things
my life is deemed worth sacrificing,
Covid-19.
