Virus Free

from The Mask by Bill White

lyrics

Rubber bullets wont kill you
But they hurt like a snake-head cane
This city is in lock-down.
If they catch you in the street,
Dont run, lest you catch
Rubber bullets in your back.

A 73-year old man
Arrived at the emergency doors
With a slight fever and severe cough.
They gave him a quick once-over.
then determined him Virus Free
And sent him home

Where he died later that night.
Now I am to bring the hospitals regrets
To his family. I dont expect
A warm acceptence of my generic apologies.
They will probably spit on me,
Tell me to fuck off
And leave them alone.

The boys who had defied lockdown
And were shot by the cops
In the back with rubber bullets
Were taken to the hospital
Where, after brutally detailed
Testings and examinations,
Were declared Virus Free

The excruciating routines they endured
Were not nearly as painful
As the lethal cough spasms
From the tubercular lungs
Of the 73 year-old man
Who had been refused treatment
And sent home
Without so much as a nasal swab.
