Red Or Blue

Red or blue, which one are you? What color is your state?
If you’re in blue then good for you, your vaccine goal goes great
But if within red states you dwell I’m sorry but you’re screwed
Because red ideology controls the attitude
That prevents your state from meeting Joe’s vaccine goal on time
Because red legislators think without shots you'll be fine.

Most blue states will reach Biden’s goal by the 4th of July

While red states following Trump’s lead see no reason to try

So while those in blue make it through thanks to their vaccine shot

Those in deep red may soon be dead because they’re so smart not

It depends on the state you live in and who there does lead

Leaders driven by medicine or by power and greed.

What Trump’s wrought in state legislatures for you now decides

If shots will keep you COVID free and help to stem its tides

Or if the stance your leaders take end up ending your life

Because they would for Donald Trump make any sacrifice

Including you as sacrifice to ideology

Imposed to prove how true to Trump red state leaders can be.

So don’t be blue if your state’s blue, you will come through alright 

But if it’s red and you’re still not dead you'd best be uptight

Because Trump-loving leadership will lead you far away

From science-driven vaccine goals blue states have put in play

And like those leaders you’d best hope Trump-love’s all that’s required

To lead your state through before death’s due and yours has transpired.

Most blue states will make Biden’s July 4 vaccine goal. Red states won’t. https://flip.it/paPCd5

The GOP’s anti-vax messaging is working, red states are vaccinating more slowly https://flip.it/ebSNb9
