unprecedented

By Coral WardPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Locked in, locked out

Locked down

So long of going nowhere

We've heard it all before!

Coughs and sneezes spread diseases,

cover this, cover that

stay at home and save lives

Act like you have it!

A year later - we are still shut away

Slowly the doors will open

Now we have toilet roll,

do we have our lives?

See with a microscope,

Feel all around

It's not over yet!

yet, slowly we take the steps

Schools and shops,

Funerals and weddings

Slowly, they fill once more!

Has it touched you?

People are ill,

People can Die!

And - Strangers we have all become...

Birthdays and Christmas

Past by the locked door

Sir Tom walked for miles

...... to help strangers!

Missing the café,

missing my friends,

missing my family,

missed our birthdays

But - Not missing a life!

They had it - Stayed at home

In bed - With medicine

Aching and ill with no motivation

But - Improvement did come!

And lives were not taken!!

Covid it's called,

Coronavirus to some

creeps around

killing a few

The Boris - he shouts

But - not many listen -

the vaccines here now

LET ME OUT OF MY PRISON!
