The cranes lie idle
Fewer cars drive by
Blue lights flash, as ambulances fly
Rainbows inside windows
Less aeroplanes in the sky
The NHS is readying for slaughter
I’m isolating from my son and my daughter.
China says, “Test, test, test”
Boris says, “No, Brits are best”
All were hoping the bug would pass them by
Outbreaks of altruism
Enforced DNRs
Populations around the globe
Do not know where they are
Spring is here
The sun is in the sky
And all we can do for England, is
Watch through windows, as death goes by
Empty Streets, empty shelves and empty wallets
The poor were starving before
Now, there’s no one coming to the door
Stay home, please do not become an official death
Take in this virus and life could be left
Taken into hospital, away from your home
It seems that death from coVid-19 is always alone
I wish you well on this beautiful day
Life is so special in so many ways
Be strong in faith that we will pull through
Maybe call that friend that you always meant to?
Remember that life always moves on
Today is tomorrow’s history and soon will belong.
Take care.
The End
