Those With Masked Faces

They laughed when Michael covered his face

Held a surgical mask up when in a public place

Or wore gloves to protect himself, hygienically

So why is this now part of preventive methodology

Every where I go there’s a surgical net

Worn by those ill and those not ill yet

I see variations on this facial screen

There are some whose eyes can only be seen

How I remember the social fear

Many people taking extreme care

And worried by the first sign of blood

Some no longer showed the essence of brotherhood

Kind deeds had become foreign if people suspect

Epidemics and disease from the signs they get

Despite the education about AIDS and HIV

Folks are fearful to shake hands with suffers of this malady

And now when they see a mask, people run

Could be reminiscent of a bank robber, waving a gun

Every sneeze in a crowd, like a grenade, the crowd will dissect

So Those With Masked Faces, like in Westerns, are our biggest threat
