liberate me

liberate me from quarantine
give me haircut, massage, manicure, or death
—no matter whose​​
the plague doctors sitting in public office
wait like priests that prey on children
shake their mandates like drops of water
but ​can't keep this disease from waking
staunching the main streets

unleash the wronged rights until the world
has righted its wrong oppression of my freedoms
give me this or give me death
amen
