I Pick Up My Pen And Think
Are We Really Coming Out Of Lockdown Next Week
Are We Doing What’s Being Asked,
Required Of Us
95% Of Us Without Causing A Fuss, Are Doing It
Are Getting It Right
We Really Want To Come Out Of This Plight
In A Democratic Society
The Majority Rules
In A Pandemic It Appears The Minority Act Like Fools
Disregarding The Rules And Guidelines Laid Down
That Are There To Guide The Way
To Keep Us Safe And Keep Danger At Bay
To Protect Us From Harm
We Keep Our Loved Ones Out Of Arms Reach
We Are All Feeling The Pain
Willing And Praying For Them To Be Back In Our Arms Again
Telling Them How Much They Matter
Showing Them How Much We Care
For Ours And Their Safety
We Are Willing To Bear
The Loss Of Their Touch
The Days And Months Spend Without Them
At Times Feels Too Much
This Is Not An Easy Ask
But We Are Showing, We are Rising To This Task
We Wait With Baited Breath
For The Number Of Cases To Reduce
The Death Knoll To Sound No More
To Hear, No More People At Death’s Door
We Will Come Through This Terrible Plight
Stronger Than Before
Just For Now We Still Need To Stay At Home Behind Our Door
