Helps not on the way.
Stay at home, stay alone.
That is what they say.
The enemy unseen is floating in the air.
We dont know where it came from.
We cant tell if it’s there.
We have no way to fight it. Lock your door tonight.
Were all in masks for outdoor tasks,
and there’s no end in sight.
It isnt science fiction, but as the author said,
theres truth in these predictions.
It fills us all with dread.
Say a prayer lady fair.
Helps not on the way.
Our world will never be the same
as it was yesterday.

Indeed. Well put, sombre and foreboding. We made mistakes in Oz in the management of this pandemic, but I really worry about how its being handled in the US. Distance, isolate if need be, and stock up on the toilet paper!
Take care, S. |

No kidding, right? So well stated within the spectacular penning from Queen Softy. |
