"Needle of Freedom"
By R. Jacob

Pfizer, Moderna, J and J,
Our salvation ain't far away
It's been more than a year since it all began
When the virus ran across the land

We haven't been able to see our friends
Or many of the people on whom we depend
Our kids are screwed up from missing school
Who knew the 'rona would be so cruel

Our freedom lies in a needle, goin’ out to the people
It's the way to beat the covid to return to life as we know it

I got my first shot just the other day,
No ill effects I have to say
Second time around wasn't so great
I could barely walk and my body ached

Seemed such a small price to pay
A chance to share drinks with friends by May
Is it really coming to an end?
Let’s hope so, no time to pretend

Our freedom lies in a needle…

Sure there are holdouts, I understand
You don't really trust ol' Uncle Sam
The country you love is providing a chance
To put this viral bondage in the past

Don't get the shot, I really don't care
'Till you keep getting sick then it is no fair
Decisions you make impact me
Delaying the time 'till we're all set free

Our freedom lies in a needle …

It now appears the end’s in sight
So says TV news nearly every night
It seems such a simple task
So everyone can remove their masks

Our freedom lies in a needle…
