Live Free or Die


Riddle for meditation: when some believe
A simple mask on the face
Becomes a symbol of tyranny
Ripping up people’s right to liberty
That calls for the liberation from lock down
Guarding individual freedom against public health

Riddle for meditation: when some believe
A simple mask on the face
Becomes a symbol of personal integrity
As private as underwear
Calling for constitutional rights to speech
Guarding personal decision against public health

Riddle for meditation: when some believe
A simple mask on the face                                                                
Becomes a symbol of segregation
Separating those who wear from those who don’t
Calling for dark magic by spitting, coughing at others
Guarding individual freedom of expression against public health

Riddle for meditation: when some believe
A simple mask on the face
Becomes a symbol of humanity
Chatting on the beach, in the party and the bar
Calling for the sacred message in preaching humanhood
Guarding personal bonding against public health

Blind riddle be resolved: when some believe
A simple mask on the face
Along with social distance
Become the calendar forecast of the spiking death
Calling for the super force in the tug of war
To decide who will live and who will die
