Dear Editor:
May calm heads prevail as we all ride out the storm:
Long, long line ups of hoarding masses.
Carts of toilet paper to wipe their a—-.
Empty shelves and locked up doors.
The widespread virus rises and soars.
Panic buying by fear-filled people.
Herd mentality, conditioned sheeple.
Social distancing, self isolation.
A global, unprecedented situation.
Schools, libraries, and churches close.
For just how long, nobody knows.
Day cares, theatres, restaurants and bars.
A worldwide pandemic worse than SARS.
A state of emergency is in effect.
Do you have symptoms? Please get checked.
Use gloves and masks, be sterile and clean.
The world awaits the latest vaccine.
There’s a virus worse than this one, dear.
It’s a four letter word, and it’s called FEAR.
Keep in mind a word from the wise:
This too shall pass. Face Everything And Rise!!
Sandra Owen,
Fergus
