Masked

Five years ago they mocked the masked,

those of us covered and vaxxed 

from Covid and its variants,

while doubters shouted, 

It's a hoax and damn the woke,

their final blurt.

Now, with brains below zero,

ICE beats, drags and shoots

from behind their masks,

with eyes crazed, virulent

as mutant microbes let loose

like pardoned thugs.
