Cover Up

Something that distinguishes

The east from the west

Is something that involves

A sling put to the test.

Small and soft and on the face

Is where you have to wear it,

It covers up the nose and mouth

And you should always bear it.

Because if not, what happens then,

Can cause you big, big trouble,

Then germs get in, invade your lungs

And stop your little bubble.

That's why all the way in the east

The first thing, the first task,

Is very crucial, not to mess with,

It is to buy a mask.

__

Paradox, cause now this purchase is

Essential all around,

And no one dares to walk the streets

Without their face white-bound.

What I once thought an eastern sling

Is now a global mark,

And doubtful things will ever be

Back out from the dark.
