  • A BRIGHTER TOMORROW

    The poor get poorer

    that's a fact

    The rich get richer

    they never use any

    tact.

    The homeless are

    begging - but some

    are only fake

    They sit outside the

    shops - and are

    always on the take.

     

    The Government has

    tried to help us

    But some people do

    cause a lot of fuss.

    They stay at home

    working hard on the

    phone -

    As the slowly turn

    into a clone!

     

    Life will never be

    the same again - but

    to carry on we do

    Covid-19 has changed

    our lives - that is very

    true.

    When we wear the

    masks - it hides a

    sinister look

    Then we walk in to a

    shop or a bank - and

    looking like a crook!

     

    Is there light at the

    end of this dismal

    tunnel? I ask,

    Or is this Covid with

    us as we fight this

    invisible task?

    We have lost the

    will to smile - it has

    to be seen,

    All courtesy of a

    pandemic - and

    Covid-19!

     

    I try to live my life

    normal - I don't use

    any excuses.

    But I wish the bus

    company would

    reinstate the regular

    10 minute buses!

    Maybe covid is

    laughing at us all -

    as this is the new

    future of causing

    more sorrow,

    I wish I could say;

    hang in there - there's

    always a brighter

    tomorrow!
