Dear Editor,

Excuse me for protesting,

but I have little else to do.

I do not condone unnecessary destruction

of local businesses.

I’m not allowed to buy shoes or clothes,

but I can protest.

I’m not allowed to get nails or hair done,

but I can protest.

I do not condone . . .

unnecessary destruction

of the family unit.

I’m not allowed to visit my children,

but I can protest.

I’m not allowed to hug my grandchildren,

but I can protest.

I do not condone the destruction

of our mental health.

I’m not allowed exercise classes or dancing,

but I can protest.

I’m not allowed church or singing,

but I can protest.

All this for a virus that has a high

recovery rate for most people.

Some may call me names, mock me, malign me,

I will not change my opinion that this is insanity on steroids.

So excuse me for protesting,

but I have little else to do.

Arlene Pauls
