“The way you’re free to fight it/ is simple, my friends/ Just stay the f at home.”
The poem was written by Adam Mansbach, author of the bookGo the F to Sleep, who called up Jackson one day.
“We talked about what we could do remind people of social distancing and where we are in these times now,” the actor said, speaking via video chat from his home.
“So, he wrote a new poem, I read it, and we want to present it to the public right now.”
It’s message, like Mansbach’s previous work, is pretty straightforward: “Now, technically, I’m not a doctor/ but, motherfer, listen when I read a poem/ So, here I am, Sam fin’ Jackson/ imploring you, keep your ass at home.”
