The COVIDIOT

“I’m not going to wear a mask,”

The man says with a look of defiance,

As he stands in the midst of a crowd,

Defying common sense and science.

"I don't like the government,"

The man without a mask proceeds.

It only comes in handy for him

When it happens to suit his needs.

"The government is not," he adds,

"Going to tell me what to do."

Only his unreliable

Sources tell him what is true.

"The CDC can't be trusted,"

He says with a look of disdain,

Letting too many conspiracy theories

Seep into his paranoid brain.

"No business or place of work

Can make me wear a mask," he declares.

When it comes to the safety of all,

His words show how little he cares.

"Freedom is what it's all about,"

He shouts, but he just doesn't see

That it has nothing to do with freedom;

It’s merely utter stupidity.
