Ya Know...
These Days I Now Wonder...
Does Anyone EVER...
Have All Bases Covered... ?!?

Because Being CLEVER...
Doesn’t Mean That Your Summers...
Won’t See Claps of THUNDER... !!!

And Now Corona Has PLUNDERED...
And CULLED Substantial Numbers...
Because It’s UNCOVERED...
A World Where Discomfort...
Has Left People... FLUSTERED... !!!

And A LONG Way From...
Having Their Bases Covered... !!!

It’s Caused Many Shops...
To Lock Their Shutters...
Because of The Loss...
of Money And Jobs... !!!

For Many Who Thought...
That Their Jobs Would ASSURE...
That They’d Never Be Poor... !!!

Or In Need of MORE...
Than... EVER BEFORE... !!!

Just To Keep The Base...
That Defines The Zone...
That They Call HOME... !!!

But Corona’s Brought Pain...
... Financial Strain...
And Stress To Brains...

Due To Lockdowns Meant...
To... Cover The Extent...
That This Virus Encumbers...
How Masses Now Govern...
... Sustaining A Wage...
That Helps Them To Maintain...

The Bases In Which...
Most Humans Now Live...

It’s A... Funny Old Thing...
To See What It’s UNCOVERED... !!!
About How People Think...
And What They’ll Restructure...
To Keep Their Bases Covered... !!!

Some Have Simply Smothered...
Themselves Under Covers...
And Joined The Crews...
Who Seem Confused...
As To What Is True...
About... This Flu... ?!?

So Have Quickly SUFFERED...
As Stocks Have Fluttered...
And Left Folks Lumbered...

With Some Pretty BIG Debts...
And The Types of Stress...
That Lead To Pressures...
And DRASTIC Measures...
To Avoid Being Left...
Like The Saying Says...

Thats CORRECT... For DEAD... !!!

Or Somewhat Discoloured...
Like... Certain Heads...
Whose Bases UNCOVER...
That Their Mind State’s Cluttered...

With A Load of NONSENSE...
About Their IMPORTANCE...
In The Grand Scheme of Things...

Where The Colour of Skin...
Can Bring BAD Things...
And Words From Racists...
Whose Bases Are Covered...

When It Comes To How...
They Keep Blacks Down... !!!

But The Thing That Is FOUL...
Is How Blacks Run Their Mouths...
About Having Things Covered...
But Suddenly... STUTTER...
When Racist Sounds...
Are Those That Surround...
And Leave Them Drowned...
And SAD Like Clowns... !!

Who CAN’T Cover The Frowns...
That Tend To Be Found...
When You Walk Around Towns...

Where Colonial Sounds...
STILL CLEARLY RESOUND...
Out of Mouths Who Shout...
About... How They’re PROUD...

of Looking After Those...
Whose Bases Hold...

NO DARK Skin Tones... !!!

And All The ******...
That Reach Their Shores...
Looking For Some Black Meat...
To FULFIL Their Need...

To COVER The Base...
That Makes Them CLAIM...
That They DON’T Embrace...
Things Like... Race Hate...

It’s A Crying Shame... !!!

To See The State...
of The Game That’s Played...
With Bases LOADED...
With Colonial Names...

UNTIL Statues...
Are TAKEN AWAY... ?!?

NO Ball In Play...
Just A Pitch That Makes...
For Embracing Ways...

That Should Have NO PLACE...
In The World... TODAY... !!!

But It Is What It Is...
When It Comes To Things...
Where Bases RESIST...
... Uncovering Things...
Where The Truth Exists...

It’s A... Funny Thing...
And A Strange Saying...
When You Really Think...
About How We Live...

All This Talk of KINGS...
Seems To CONTRADICT...
How It Is That MOST...
Seem To Treat White Folks...

Whose Bases Seem Covered... ?

While Corona Has PLUNDERED...
And DESTROYED Cultures... !!!

And Changed A Lot of Things...
For Those Whose Skins...
AREN’T Quite As THICK...
As They Were HOPING...

Which Leads Me To Wonder...

Who Really In The End... ?

Has...

... “All Bases Covered”...
Who can really make the claim that they REALLY have . . .
