She’s toying with us now
Is Mother Nature
She knows she’s got us humans
On the run
Her agent Covid
Did the job she asked for
Kill enough to put the frighteners
On the bastards
Their fear will do the rest
I’ll sit and wait
They’ll shut things down
And hide indoors
And think they’ve pulled a fast one
Saved many millions more
From getting dead
But cars no longer belch
Planes no longer fly
Factories are silent
Air is clean
Birds and insects
Flutterby and fly
When they creep out
And try to start up
I can hit them once again
With a mutation
They’re not prepared for
Throw them
Into panic once again
For I have to save my planet
From the plaguey little pests
They’re the biggest enemy ever
I’ll let them know I’m not in jest
