The Quarantine Chronicles, Day 37

DAY 37: Additional fuck yous go to:
the people who had a party on the roof
of our apartment building yesterday --
FUCK YOU, STAY HOME, STAY APART, the 
countries like Sweden that refuse to lock-down, you
kill yourselves and us too -- FUCK YOU
the US that just seems completely stupid
or evil all the way round -- F. YOU
people going to church, weddings, funerals --
FUCK YOU, TO ALL RELIGIONS THAT
CHEAPEN HUMAN LIFE (especially those
that say they don't) people who can't find
a mental hunkerdown and whine like babies
all the time -- you are spreading the antsy whimpy
whining cry-baby virus -- SHUT UP AND COPE!
self-discipline is a thing
learn it, practice it, embrace it, GROW
THE FUCK UP, those who praise doctors
and nurses and find every excuse to
go out -- YOU ARE HYPOCRITES
the doctors and nurses asked us, begged
us, to stay home to help them, for weeks 
or months, okay it's hard, we all crack, but
we do it for them, without complaint and
then for ourselves, their potential failures 
("oh damn, time of death ...") --
in the front door out the back in a box
like an assembly line of death that we must
break, stop, honor and interrupt.
