My body, my choice.
Now it’s relevant because it’s your voice.
Never having a care, when you denied theirs.
Even as a medical option.
Your dismissal of abortion.
Shameless and highly hypocritical.
Supposedly you voted for Trump because of his pro-life stance.
Joining in the Trumpian dance.
Excited about his crusade to overturn Roe v Wade.
Back then, to you, life was paramount.
Now you turn your back on the Covid-19 death count.
Many of these same people choose to not wear a mask.
It’s also their choice to not remain physically distant.
They want to socialize and gather.
Not quarantine after exposure.
It isn’t even that they are being careless.
Their behavior is deliberate as acts of defiance.
A message that they couldn’t care less.
And therein lies the problem.
No one can hold them to task.
It’s their Right to engage in resistance.
How ironic, death has been the outcome.
And the mounting deaths haven’t served as a deterrent.
America was always bent toward individualism.
Valuing and promoting individual goals, Rights and personal freedom.
Still, there was a sense of togetherness as Americans.
Having pride in Country and systems.
That “We the People” can achieve and do great.
But now many have taken the bait.
To have what was there destroyed.
And promote individualism on steroids.
Demands and expectations so specific and often flawed.
Obstruction, divisiveness and opposition are what they now applaud.
No willingness to compromise.
Following the leader who lacks the ability to empathize.
You can want what you want within reason.
But to make baseless claims and to have hate be your base
Will result in chaos, confusion and a lack of cohesion.
There is no shame –
A deliberate disregard for greater good and collective gain.
No longer cultural individualism.
But a display of selfishness and self-serving.
For some, this is their new normal.
Tapering more and more to the extreme, radical and wayward.
Some encouraging a civil war.
As if deaths now are their aim to score.
We’ve been losing against that of Covid-19.
Which continue to bring grim and deadly scenes.
From the start, Trump’s negligence has led to many deaths.
With continued indifference and no interest to correct.
The quality of life for many have seen a downturn.
Trump is now, like Nero, fiddling as the Country burns.
Life, no longer sacred it seems.
It’s choice to do as they please.
