Take Me Away

Yes, take me far away from troubles near.
Coronavirus threatens. We need ships
and planes to bear us gone. Use every gear
to take me on these journeys, on these trips.

Machines with wings or sprockets, even trains,
provide us getaways and whistle-stops.
We need these so to travel in our lanes,
to see the world's blue waters and its crops.

Coronavirus, don't intimidate.
I have so many ways to get away.
You think your power sneaks closer to my gate.
I hate you. Leave. Go. Leave without delay.

The vehicles with engines give me hope,
and help me through these chilling days to cope.
