Identity

“The UK’s newly appointed vaccine minister, Nadhim Zahawi, has suggested that people will have to show they’ve received the Covid vaccine if they wish to return to normal life and the resumption of social activities.” RT  November 31st

 

Did Maximus and Mary find it scary

when Roman Legionnaires demanded

ostende mihi faciem tuam papers !

 

Walking along Hegelstrasse Adolph and Alwine

are chary when confronted by brown shirted Sturmabeilung

snapping Zieg mir deine Papiere!

 

Sipping a liqueur in Montmartre  Rachelle finds it smarter

not to demur when looming Gendarmes

officiously Montre moi tes papiers!

 

Were Борис and Кристина

nonchalant like tsar and tsarina

confronted by ushanka hatted Cheka

 Coldly Pokazhi mne ssvoi dokumenty!

 

Beth and Buck cruising on Blue Ridge Parkway

She heard him say Oh...crap! Not my lucky day

Rear-view mirror  Highway Patrol slow stroll,

Hand at hip hoping horribly for some lip

Ya'll show me your papers now.

 

Mom, Nick and Barry

No more warm beer, no bicycle rides

No bells to cheer the year

Done nothing wrong?

Then what’s to fear!

Where leads the tides?

To fortune or to misery?

The system’s either been reset

Or is hanging by a thread

So wipe away that timid tear

And take the lead

Don’t let yourself be led!

Cos we’re not beaten yet!
