The Dubious Denizens Of The Heaven's Angels Society

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hell's Angels
flaunted every social norm.
The opposite of calm:
they were the storm

On their hogs,
they'd roar into a town.
They weren't happy
'til they tore it down

They had their babes
and they had their beer.
But today we have
the Covid-sphere

Time changes things
and all things must pass.
Hell's Angels
went through the Looking Glass


Heaven's Angels
believe in open-mindedness.
They believe it better
to kill with kindness

"Social distancing," they say
"is a curse."
"And nothing," they swear,
"could be worse"

In Covid-space,
life is hit-and miss.
Heaven's Angels grab strangers
and give them a kiss

"Why worry about
the virus bug?"
They say to a stranger
then give a big hug

One last thing
to you I will tell.
We were a lot safer
with Angels from Hell
***

PAUL OLIVERIO
