| We don’t know when it started, don’t know where it will end They say it came from China, from here – the known world’s end But the strangest part of all, And this I hate to say The only ongoing question is, “How many Died Today”We tried to live a normal life, when lockdown did begin Not more than three kilometres, and no visitors allowed in We watched the news near constantly, the updates always grey But ultimately the headline was, “How Many Died Today” One could not see her parents, cause they were 83 We learned about the front line staff, their commitment full and true I hope someday when this does pass, As pass it surely will Martin Fitzmaurice – during Lockdown – 30/05/2020 |
