When the need of the hour is Vaccines
The operative word is Vaccinate,
Not quibble over “IPR’s” and stuff
Not, foolishly, Vacillate.

Wavering is human nature
That, follows from the “Unknown”,
How little we know, even less understand
When, to “self-interest” we are so prone.

‘Tis no time to argue, for it is time to act
We are one People that face a common Enemy,
If you have extra doses, whatever make it maybe
If, reasonable “safety’s” been established, then
Donate, pass on, give everywhere
For the sake of Humanity.

We hear how lavish or concerned
Have certain places been
Ordering, several times the much-needed Doses,
‘Twud be a crime unparalleled
If those were “cribbed”about
What use a barren garden,
Why the wasted Roses.

How hollow the human mind
Or, how Machiavellian could it be,
Visible to the eye as we “vested,  debate
Is there for all to see.

Donate, Donate, Donate.
