reckless endangerment

A person who refuses to wear a mask
When in close proximity to anyone outside their household 
Like it is their right to risk infecting other people 
That is the common form of antisocial behavior now

When that person refuses to quarantine
After having been exposed to the virus
Knowing they may well be contagious themselves 
That is the more virulent form of antisocial pathology

If that person should become quite sick with COVID
Serious enough to require hospitalization
Then order others to be with him in a confined space
Just to be seen for a photo op in the Presidential limo

That is the height of reckless endangerment 
The example set for his minions and followers
The surrogates and aides who refuse to quarantine 
The maskless cheering section for their obese bully

No criminal charges will come of it for this miscreant 
Certainly not the same lame one in the miscarriage of justice 
Making a mockery of the murder of Breanna Taylor 
This man like that cop is an enemy of the people 

But these despicable individuals are only actors
Playing out their roles in their positions of power
Perpetuating this racist profit system with cruel lies
Until we organize to get rid of their rule completely
