COVID Dissonance

“Six-foot distance and wearing masks are pagan rituals of satanic worshippers,” said parent Heidi Anderson. “My kids are Christian they are not subject to wearing masks.”


As schools debate in-person classes,
the cognitively challenged rise up,
wave signs, guns and bibles
to protest protection.

Eager to sacrifice children and teachers,
they embrace crackpot conspiracy theories,
swarm into public meetings, rave at the podium,
spew hatred and misinformation.

Whipped to a frenzy
by Fox News and the White House,
the obliviously illiterate claim first amendment rights
as they spread violence and viral infections.
