Self Entitlement, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)
Nader went after
The auto industry
Long ago
In the 1970s
They all threw fits
Making the bullshit argument
That to improve safety
Would cost too much money
Big tobacco
Used cartoon camels
Images of cowboys
To sell their products
Humans have been warned
For over a century
Burning fossil fuels
Will cause long term missery
And once again
On Memorial Day Weekend
Pool parties and packed beaches
Lead to our distruction
"Rights" and "Freedom"
Are not a free for all
Doesn't constitute anarchy
To do whatever you want
Nobody would go
To have surgury
From a person
With no degree
Nobody sane
Would get on a jet
If the pilot
Had no experience
It is responsible
To listen to science
To fasten your seatbelt
During turbulance
If you don't wear a mask
You are an ass
If you ignore distance
More end up in caskets
It isn't about party
It isn't about state
It is about safety
To keep everyone safe
You can get fined
If you you get pulled over
Your baby not in a car seat
You deserve it
You can drive
You can drink
But you can't mix the two
Stop and think
You have no right
To assault a cashier
If they insist
Of a mask you wear
Keep your distance
Stay at home
Go out only when you have to
Helps everyone.
