Vaccine

When the enemy rushes in

Like a Covid stigma via exclusion from vaccine

Steady coming at you like sharks to meat

And you have assumed the name of refugee,

God help you

If your feet don't fail you…

It's like a shot of adrenaline to the head

Feeling the despair of the displaced

Something close to the outrage

Goin' on for the Texas outage. 

Where is that River

Whose very streams make glad

The City of God?

Let it flow to all in asylum,

And flood desolate shores

With monoclonal shots of unalloyed love. 

Today and for always

Let's all raise the refrain,

'If one gets a shot,

All gets a shot.'

It don't matter your nationality

As long as you got your ID;

The soul of a human being.

I have as much right to get a shot,

As you have a right to get a shot. 

Stop the exclusion trend.

Make it happen!
