since December, the world has turned-- turned into a skeleton place first far away, now commonplace society became a bare-skinned animal whose bones rattle in the breeze, the infectious air diffusing entwining inside us with ease this animal's labored breathing-- poison emanates from every exhale-- is creeping, swirling, choking, whirling without a visible trail this animal roams about freely without a stay-at-home order, wraps its tendrils inside each painful breath, knows not of race, religion, or border so tell me why we've not tried to tame it, most wonderful governor dear, oh yes! your disregard for us, proclaim it! instead you'd rather have fear, and death! any call to action now will have us all still writhing the lame beast will conquer us, thanks, to the lack of timing the bare ***** beast hunts night and day its being can't be cast away; arm yourself against its wrath society must pave its own path

Society of Bones
since December, the world has turned-- turned into a skeleton place first far away, now commonplace society became a bare-skinned animal whose bones rattle in the breeze, the infectious air diffusing entwining inside us with ease this animal's labored breathing-- poison emanates from every exhale-- is creeping, swirling, choking, whirling without a visible trail this animal roams about freely without a stay-at-home order, wraps its tendrils inside each painful breath, knows not of race, religion, or border so tell me why we've not tried to tame it, most wonderful governor dear, oh yes! your disregard for us, proclaim it! instead you'd rather have fear, and death! any call to action now will have us all still writhing the lame beast will conquer us, thanks, to the lack of timing the bare ***** beast hunts night and day its being can't be cast away; arm yourself against its wrath society must pave its own path
Yes, Pete Ricketts, governor of the great state of Nebraska. This one's for you.
