 Mask Controversy

To be or not to be face masked,

This Covid question caused a lot

Of controversy when much asked.

For good of public health or not?

Powers that be from place to place

Made rules, some ruling yes, some no.

There was no doubt the world did face

Crisis, no one did really know

For sure then whether masks would make

Any difference, good or bad.

Rules were made for mixed motives sake,

Using the powers that be had.

Whenever a rule controversy,

Who is, who's not a power that be?
