All I wish for — all I ask
Is freedom from this accursed mask
Hungry for some O2 manna
Unfiltered by the Talibandanna.

Yes, I swear, Oh! Lord,
I will not go overboard
I won’t cough in peoples’ faces
Or commit similar disgraces.

Pride and gluttony and sloth
Aren’t possible with mouth in cloth!
Lust and envy, wrath, and greed
Likely unlikely to succeed.

No, I’m not a radical at all
Not fiery like Apostle Paul
Rebellion? That I would not foment:
I just pray for a de-mask-us moment.
