I hate the way you took my job, 
and all the bars you closed. 
I hate social distancing. 
I hate that you’re so bold. 

I hate the way I can’t see my family
and you make me feel alone. 
I hate you so much it makes me cry, 
it makes me fear the unknown. 

I hate you, I hate the way you’re making me think.
I hate you for letting me see. 
I hate it took you showing up to reshape my faith,
even more because I’ve watched all the dvd’s.

I hate you for still being here, 
and I promise to keep washing my hands
But really I hate not hating you. 
You’ve taught me to be more grateful. 
I’m blessed in many ways
And I’m understanding why
It’s God’s lessons that I should apply.
