Cruise
lines, bus lines, train lines AIRLINES
Move
us round like canned sardines.
They
sit us down in tiny seats
With
bodies bound, cheek to cheek
To
share the air tween all throughout,
That
circulates and mixes croup.
From
house or hovel round the globe,
No
screening, test, or health-state probe.
The
people tour and incubate
As
recycled air circulates
To
share with you all they’ve got
From
viruses to bowel rot.
There’s
no escape of transport vapes -
Few
deep-cleans or fumigates:
The
holiday or getaway
Can
leave you sick for days and days.
And
now that Covid takes its toll
It’s
time to change the cheap-seat troll.
The
people’s future rolled as dice
As
carriers boast the profits nice:
Move
the folks and damn their health,
In
pursuit of money - market wealth.
Capitalism
dooms worst Covid-ail -
First,
prove trippers whole and hale??
